Efficiency corrections for factorial moments and cumulants of overlapping sets of particles

Abstract

In this note we discuss subtleties associated with the efficiency corrections for measurements of off-diagonal cumulants and factorial moments for a situation when one deals with overlapping sets of particles, such as correlations between numbers of protons and positively charged particles. We present the efficiency correction formulas for the case when the detection efficiencies follow a binomial distribution.
