Fock-space projection operators for semi-inclusive final states

Dickinson, Robert; Forshaw, Jeff; Millington, Peter

Abstract

We present explicit expressions for Fock-space projection operators that correspond to realistic final states in scattering experiments. Our operators automatically sum over unobserved quanta and account for non-emission into sub-regions of momentum space.
