Outline • Usetemporarypdfs • Estimate of number of bkgeventsfrom data • Toy MC study and sensitivitystudywithBayesianapproach • FitRegion: +-6sigma: • Eg=44.2-61.4MeV • Ep=48.-57.6 MeV • theg=170-180 degrees • Teg= 24.7-27.1 ns • (Assumedresolutions: • (Ep)=0.8MeV(Eg)=1.43MeV(Teg)=0.2ns, (theg)=30mrad)
Temporary PDFs • SIGNAL • Eg: from full signal MC • Ep: 3-gaussianfromfrancesco’s fit on data • theg: fromtoy MC generation using MC angularresolution • Teg=gaussianwith 0.180 ns (from UL) • RADIATIVE • Ep,Eg,theg: toy MC thatsmear and weightkuno-okada • distributiontakinginto account resolution and acceptance • Teg: gaussianwithsameresolutionassignal • ACCIDENTAL • Eg: fromfittoTegsideband • Ep: fromfrancesco’s fit • theg:fromfittoTegsideband • Teg: flat
