Asymptotic distribution for two-sided tests with lower and upper boundaries on the parameter of interest
Glen Cowan, Kyle Cranmer, Eilam Gross +1
We present the asymptotic distribution for two-sided tests based on the profile likelihood ratio with lower and upper boundaries on the parameter of interest. This situation is rel…
Comment on "On the subtleties of searching for dark matter with liquid xenon detectors"
The XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +74
In a recent manuscript (arXiv:1208.5046) Peter Sorensen claims that XENON100's upper limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross sections for WIMP masses below 10 GeV "may be und…
Dark Matter Results from 225 Live Days of XENON100 Data
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, M. Alfonsi +75
We report on a search for particle dark matter with the XENON100 experiment, operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) for 13 months during 2011 and 2012. XENON100…
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…
A Method for Deriving Transverse Masses Using Lagrange Multipliers
Eilam Gross, Ofer Vitells
We use Lagrange multipliers to extend the traditional definition of Transverse Mass used in experimental high energy physics. We demonstrate the method by implementing it to derive…
