    5 In general, the probability that an event is accepted depends on the characteristics of the measured event, and not on the process that produced it. The measured probability density $\bar{P}(x,\alpha)$ can be related to the produced probability density $P(x,\alpha)$: %\[\bar{P}(x,\alpha)=Acc(x) P(x,\alpha)\]% where $ Acc(x)$ is the detector acceptance, which depends only on $ x $
