Integrated asymmetry calculation

[math]Asymm = \frac{\sum \left[\left(\frac{up(ii)}{Wup}-\frac{upbg(ii)}{Wupbg}\right) - \left(\frac{sd(ii)}{Wsd}-\frac{sdbg(ii)}{Wsdbg}\right)\right]} {\sum \left[\left(\frac{up(ii)}{Wup}-\frac{upbg(ii)}{Wupbg}\right) + \left(\frac{sd(ii)}{Wsd}-\frac{sdbg(ii)}{Wsdbg}\right)\right]}[/math]

where

up(ii)   - D2O, detector Up,   Wup - weighted coefficient for up(ii)

upbg(ii) - H2O, detector Up,   Wup - weighted coefficient for upbg(ii)

sd(ii)   - D2O, detector Side, Wup - weighted coefficient for sd(ii)

sdbg(ii) - N2O, detector Side, Wup - weighted coefficient for sdbg(ii)

For detector A summation is over [1000:1600] bin numbers
For detector C summation is over [900:1600] bin numbers

Error calculation

[math]Error = \sqrt{\left(\frac{\boldsymbol\partial A}{\boldsymbol\partial up}\right)^2(\boldsymbol\delta up)^2 + \left(\frac{\boldsymbol\partial A}{\boldsymbol\partial Wup}\right)^2(\boldsymbol\delta Wup)^2 + ...}[/math]

If assume: [math]\boldsymbol\delta up = \sqrt{up}\ \ \boldsymbol\delta Wup = \sqrt{Wup}\ ...[/math]
Then
[math]Error = \sqrt{...}[/math]
