This bias must be corrected for.  x meas =  x true ( 1 + ½  x det ) 2 /  x true ) 2 ) For the bias to be less than 1%, the detector resolution must be (much) better than 1/7 of the width of the distribution to be measured, i.e. the beam size at equilibrium emittance. Say 1/10. The systematic errors result from uncertainties in the bias corrections. Rule of experience says that the biases can be corrected with a precision of 10% of its value (must be demonstrated in each case).
