− | Note that we leave the sum over <math>L_X</math> outside the amplitude of interest. This is convenient in partial wave analysis so that the hypothesized L-states can be listed and summed explicitly. In mass-independent fits, the Breit-Wigner for the resonance is replaced with strength factors that are parameters of the fit. An exponential dependence of ''t'' is inserted with a coefficient that can be deduced from fits in separate ''t'' bins.
