Estimating the significance of a signal in a multi-dimensional search
Ofer Vitells, Eilam Gross
In experiments that are aimed at detecting astrophysical sources such as neutrino telescopes, one usually performs a search over a continuous parameter space (e.g. the angular coor…
Power-Constrained Limits
Glen Cowan, Kyle Cranmer, Eilam Gross +1
We propose a method for setting limits that avoids excluding parameter values for which the sensitivity falls below a specified threshold. These "power-constrained" limits (PCL) ad…
Likelihood Approach to the First Dark Matter Results from XENON100
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +43
Many experiments that aim at the direct detection of Dark Matter are able to distinguish a dominant background from the expected feeble signals, based on some measured discriminati…
Determination of αS using OPAL hadronic event shapes at sqrt(s) = 91 - 209 GeV and resummed NNLO calculations
The OPAL Collaboration
Hadronic event shape distributions from e+e- annihilation measured by the OPAL experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 91 GeV and 209 GeV are used to determine the strong cou…
