Discovery Sensitivity for a Counting Experiment with Background Uncertainty
Enzo Canonero, Glen Cowan
In Particle Physics, a search for a new signal process is often based on observing a Poisson-distributed number of events, whose mean contains contributions from background and, if…
Correlated Systematic Uncertainties and Errors-on-Errors in Measurement Combinations: Methodology and Application to the 7-8 TeV ATLAS-CMS Top Quark Mass Combination
Enzo Canonero, Glen Cowan
The Gamma Variance Model (GVM) is a statistical model that incorporates uncertainties in the assignment of systematic errors (informally called errors-on-errors). The model is of p…
Evidence for CP violation in decays
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, B. Adeva +698
Three-body and decays are studied using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 collected by…
A search for baryogenesis and dark matter in decays
BABAR Collaboration
A mechanism of baryogenesis and dark matter production via -meson oscillations and decays has recently been proposed to explain the observed dark matter abundance and matter-ant…
Measurements of charm mixing and violation using decays
LHCb collaboration, R. Aaij, B. Adeva +766
Measurements of charm mixing and violation parameters from the decay-time-dependent ratio of to decay rates and the charge-conjugat…
