Hyperbolic subtraction method: Determination of the concentration of an analyte in the presence of an unknown interferent via spectral data.
2018
A theoretical model to determine the concentration of an analyte in the presence of unknown interferents using spectral-type data is described. The method involves absorbance measurements at three wavelengths and the calculation of specific absorbances yielding a hyperbolic relationship between absorbance ratios and analyte concentrations. The concentration of the analyte of known spectrum can be determined in the presence of an interferent or mixture of interferents of unknown concentration(s) and spectra can be determined combining data for different sets of wavelengths. Application to indigo and isatin solutions in DMSO related to the so-called Maya blue problem is reported as an illustr…
Pileup and underlying event mitigation with iterative constituent subtraction
2019
Abstract The hard-scatter processes in hadronic collisions are often largely contaminated with soft background coming from pileup in proton-proton collisions, or underlying event in heavy-ion collisions. This paper presents a new background subtraction method for jets and event observables (such as missing transverse energy) which is based on the previously published Constituent Subtraction algorithm. The new subtraction method, called Iterative Constituent Subtraction, applies event-wide implementation of Constituent Subtraction iteratively in order to fully equilibrate the background subtraction across the entire event. Besides documenting the new method, we provide guidelines for setting…
