This document summarizes critical insights discussed at recent RICH conferences regarding the separation power in particle identification (PID). It highlights key formulae from past talks, including the definition of σ_RES as articulated in the BaBar paper. It also reviews findings from the CLEO and COMPASS collaborations, focusing on consistent distribution widths and measurement techniques for particle momentum. Additionally, it discusses future directions and considerations for detector performance, emphasizing the need for a collective understanding of the implications behind particular detection choices.

Separation power – again... • slide shown at GSI PID-TAG • key formulae from overview talks at the two past RICH conferences • definition as worded in BaBar paper • looking ahead Klaus Föhl 2007-10-05 VRVS PID-TAG meeting
1 2 Definition of RES what do we do if distribution widths are not the same? CLEO COMPASS TAG definiton agreed at GSI same information content as formula on the left came up in Erlangen error value for (p1+p2) or for (p1-p2), but we measure one single value pi p1 and p2 define the scale consistent with formula in B.
