Local Efficiency Corrections to Higher Order Cumulants

Abstract

In this brief note we derive and present the formulas necessary to correct measurements of cumulants for detection efficiency. In particular we consider the case where the efficiency may depend on the phase-space, such as transverse momentum, rapidity etc.
