Description

Smeared spectral functions play a central role in the extraction of many inclusive hadronic observables. This talk will discuss recent work on kernel transformations, a framework for transforming between smeared spectral functions computed using different smearing kernels. Analytic and regulated solutions will be presented, with an emphasis on controlling the effect of any intermediate approximation directly from the smeared input data.
