    A Normalized differential cross section

    Alright. It is clear now. Thanks!

    A Normalized differential cross section

    Alright, I think I got it now. But just to make sure, scaling the uncertainty to some luminosity means changing N, which will then change ##p_s/\Delta X_s##. Is that how I should interpret it?

    A Normalized differential cross section

    Ok. I understand that the statistical uncertainty goes like ##\frac{S}{\sqrt{N}}##, where S is the central value, so by error propagation, the uncertainty gets scaled by the same factor as the histogram. What is still unclear to me are statements like "uncertainty is statistical and scaled to...

    A Normalized differential cross section

    So the histogram gets scaled by a factor of ##\frac{1}{N \Delta X}##. What happened to the statistical uncertainty though? I know the bin error should equal the square root of the bin content, but this does not depend on the luminosity, is that ok? I thought the statistical uncertainty will be...

    A Normalized differential cross section

    Hello, I know that this question might be a bit silly but I am confused about plotting a normalized differential cross section. Suppose that I have a histogram with the x-axis representing some observable X and the y-axis the number of events per bin. I want the y-axis to show the normalized...
