Hi,
We are not being consistent when talking about the vertex leakage. There
are several definitions that are being used. I have communicated with
Steffen and Igor and this is what I have found:
Steffen is using:
Spill Fraction =
(Butanol events in target region 2)/(Butanol events in target region 1)
Igor is using:
Fractional contamination =
(Butanol events in target region 2)/(Carbon events in target region 2)
Mike:
I am sloppy about how I talk about the vertex leakage. Sometimes I talk
about the leakage in terms of the Steffen's spill fractions, but most of
the time I use (Steffen's spill fractions) * (scale factor) when I talk
about the leakage.
I have decided that I will use Steffen's definition of Spill fractions and
try not to say vertex leakage any longer.
Take care,
Michael
