Uncertainty in the corrected asymmetry between two detectors.

Calculate the uncertainty in the corrected asymmetry using standard error propagation.

Note: the calculation assumes all uncertainties are uncorrelated.

Parameters:

• L – Left detector total counts.

• L_error – Left detector uncertainty.

• R – Right detector total counts.

• R_error – Right detector uncertainty.

• l – Left detector background counts.

• l_error – Left detector background uncertainty.

• r – Right detector background counts.

• r_error – Right detector background uncertainty.

• alpha – Ratio of detector counts.

• alpha_error – Uncertainty in the ratio of detector counts.

• beta – Ratio of detector asymmetries.

• beta_error – Uncertainty in the ratio of detector asymmetries.

Returns:

The uncertainty of the raw asymmetry.
