Model Discovery Potential and Model Rejection Potential Plots




Below are the Model Discovery Potential (top) and Model Rejection Potential (bottom) plots for the long duration search.  Red circles mark the selected cut, which is the minimum of the MDF function and very close to the minimum of the MRF function.  The local minima of the MDF function mark the loosest cuts for which a given number of events could be considered a 5 sigma detection.
