Dalitz plot analysis Technique named after Richard Dalitz (1925-2006) Spin/parity determination of the known τ / θ particles in its decay products „On the analysis of tau-meson data and the nature of the tau-meson.‰ R. H. Dalitz, Phil. Mag. 44 (1953) 1068 „I visualise geometry better than numbers‰ Richard Dalitz Scatter-plot visualisation can be interpreted as: Matrix element is constant, i.e. DP uniformly populated with events Non-uniform distributions gives information about the dynamics SLAC-PUB-5151 Interference patterns between intermediate states can be studied and parametrised „A work of art‰ - gift from B.
