...Wood (Northeastern University) • C.-P. Yuan (Michgan State University) • G. Zanderighi (University of Oxford) • C. Zhang (IHEP, Beijing) 4. Naming scheme for hadrons We introduced in the 1986 edition =-=[2]-=- a new naming scheme for the hadrons. Changes from older terminology affected mainly the heavier mesons made of u, d, and s quarks. Otherwise, the only important change to known hadrons was that the F...

...y (it is somewhere between N k and N k−1), we July 30, 2010 15:33Introduction 13 do not know how to evaluate this expression. Instead we define S 2 r = 1 N k N k ∑ k=1 ( ) 2 Rrk − Rr 〈(Rrk − Rr) 2 . =-=(4)-=- 〉 With this definition the expected value of S 2 r is one. We can show that 〈(R rk − Rr) 2 〉 = 〈(δR rk) 2 〉−(δRr) 2 , (5) where δRr is the fitted error for ratio r. The fit is redone using errors for...
