实验分辨率对信号统计意义的影响:对五夸克搜索的启示

On influence of experimental resolution on the statistical significance of a signal: implication for pentaquark searches

S. V. Chekanov, B. B. Levchenko

摘要:

得到了在大背景情况下观测信号的统计显著性与信号宽度之间的解析关系。它可以帮助解释为什么高能实验可能对新粒子的存在有不同的结论。我们说明了我们的方法,使用搜索的Theta+(1530)五夸克态的实验数据。所得到的关系也是有用的规划未来的实验,旨在寻找新的粒子在不变质量分布的信号。

英文摘要:

An analytical relationship between the statistical significance of an observed signal and the signal width in case of a large background was obtained. It can help to explain why high-energy experiments may have different conclusions on the existence of new particles. We illustrate our approach using the experimental data on searches for the Theta+(1530) pentaquark state. The obtained relationship is also useful for planning of future experiments designed to search for signals of new particles in invariant-mass distributions.
