Signal Significance in the Presence of Systematic and Statistical Uncertainties
Serguei I. Bityukov1
Show affiliationsThe incorporation of uncertainties to calculations of signal significance in planned experiments is an actual task. We present a procedure of taking into account the effects of one sided systematic errors related to non-exact knowledge of signal and background cross sections on the discovery potential of an experiments. A method of a treatment of statistical errors of the expected signal and background rates is proposed. The interrelation between Gamma- and Poisson distributions is demonstrated.
