XENONnT WIMP Search: Signal & Background Modeling and Statistical Inference
XENON Collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +161
The XENONnT experiment searches for weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter scattering off a xenon nucleus. In particular, XENONnT uses a dual-phase time projection…

Deficit hawks: robust new physics searches with unknown backgrounds
Jelle Aalbers
Searches for new physics often face unknown backgrounds, causing false detections or weakened upper limits. This paper introduces the deficit hawk technique, which mitigates unknow…

Searching for new physics with profile likelihoods: Wilks and beyond
Sara Algeri, Jelle Aalbers, Knut Dundas Morå +1
Particle physics experiments use likelihood ratio tests extensively to compare hypotheses and to construct confidence intervals. Often, the null distribution of the likelihood rati…
