Estimating the angular resolution of tracks in neutrino telescopes based on a likelihood analysis
arXiv:astro-ph/0403367 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2006.01.002
Abstract
A semianalytic method to estimate the angular resolution of tracks, that have been reconstructed by a likelihood approach, is presented. The optimal choice of coordinate systems and resolution parameters, as well as tests of the method are discussed based on an application for a neutrino telescope.
