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…
Implications on Inelastic Dark Matter from 100 Live Days of XENON100 Data
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +52
The XENON100 experiment has recently completed a dark matter run with 100.9 live-days of data, taken from January to June 2010. Events in a 48kg fiducial volume in the energy range…
Dark Matter Results from 100 Live Days of XENON100 Data
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +52
We present results from the direct search for dark matter with the XENON100 detector, installed underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso of INFN, Italy. XENON100 is a…
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…
