Integrated asymmetry calculation

[math]Asymm^{detA,detC} = \frac {\left(\frac{N_{up}^{D_2O}}{W_{up}^{D_2O}}-\frac{N_{up}^{H_2O}}{W_{up}^{H_2O}}\right) - \left(\frac{N_{sd}^{D_2O}}{W_{sd}^{D_2O}}-\frac{N_{sd}^{H_2O}}{W_{sd}^{H_2O}}\right)} {\left(\frac{N_{up}^{D_2O}}{W_{up}^{D_2O}}-\frac{N_{up}^{H_2O}}{W_{up}^{H_2O}}\right) + \left(\frac{N_{sd}^{D_2O}}{W_{sd}^{D_2O}}-\frac{N_{sd}^{H_2O}}{W_{sd}^{H_2O}}\right)} [/math]

[math]Asymm^{detC} = \frac {\left(N_{up}^{D_2O}/W_{up}^{D_2O}-N_{up}^{H_2O}/W_{up}^{H_2O}\right) - \left(N_{sd}^{D_2O}/W_{sd}^{D_2O}-N_{sd}^{H_2O}/W_{sd}^{H_2O}\right)} {\left(N_{up}^{D_2O}/W_{up}^{D_2O}-N_{up}^{H_2O}/W_{up}^{H_2O}\right) + \left(N_{sd}^{D_2O}/W_{sd}^{D_2O}-N_{sd}^{H_2O}/W_{sd}^{H_2O}\right)} [/math]

where

[math]N_{up}^{D_2O}=\sum_{ii=min}^{max}{count(ii)};[/math]   integrated number of counts for detector Up, D2O

[math]N_{up}^{H_2O}=\sum_{ii=min}^{max}{count(ii)};[/math]   integrated number of counts for detector Up, H2O
 
[math]N_{sd}^{D_2O}=\sum_{ii=min}^{max}{count(ii)};[/math]   integrated number of counts for detector Side, D2O
 
[math]N_{sd}^{H_2O}=\sum_{ii=min}^{max}{count(ii)};[/math]   integrated number of counts for detector Side, H2O
 
[math]W_{up}^{D_2O};[/math]  weighted (NaI, Ref) coefficient for detector Up, D2O
[math]W_{up}^{H_2O};[/math]  weighted (NaI, Ref) coefficient for detector Up, H2O
[math]W_{sd}^{D_2O};[/math]  weighted (NaI, Ref) coefficient for detector Side, D2O
[math]W_{sd}^{H_2O};[/math]  weighted (NaI, Ref) coefficient for detector Side, H2O

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

Error calculation

[math]\delta (Asymm) = \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};\quad\boldsymbol\delta Wup = \sqrt{Wup};\quad...[/math]

what is <math>\sqrt{up}</math> ?  
Does <math>\sqrt{up}</math> = number of counts in in the detector 
up spectrum as suggested above?  Why not use <math>N_{up}</math> as variable.  
If distribution is Binomial (detector yes/no) then width of distribution is 
<math>1.265\sqrt{N}</math> = 2 times e error.  
Relative error = <math>\frac{error}{Ave} = \frac{0.6325 \sqrt{N}}{N/2}</math>

If you are measuring total number of neutrons detected then you will have binomial if you 
break up the time spectrum into bins and don't integrate then probability distribution
is combination of detection probability and time measurement probability.

Then
[math]\delta (Asymm) = \sqrt{\left(\frac{(+)-(-)}{(+)^2}\right)^2\left[\frac{up}{Wup^2}+\frac{up^2}{Wup}+\frac{upbg}{Wupbg^2}+\frac{upbg^2}{Wupbg}\right] + \left(\frac{(+)+(-)}{(+)^2}\right)^2\left[\frac{sd}{Wsd^2}+\frac{sd^2}{Wsd}+\frac{sdbg}{Wsdbg^2}+\frac{sdbg^2}{Wsdbg}\right]}[/math]
where
[math](-)=\left[\left(\frac{up}{Wup}-\frac{upbg}{Wupbg}\right) - \left(\frac{sd}{Wsd}-\frac{sdbg}{Wsdbg}\right)\right][/math]

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