18 The extended likelihood When the total number of events is a poissonian variable: } If and is the product of two poissonians, with averages and Conclusions: the number of events in any channel follows the Poisson statistics
19 The extended likelihood L(, n) N ni i i 1 n! i i e ln L(, n) k i 1 n i ln[ ( )] i k i 1 ( ) i Since N i p i ( ) N ln L(, n) k i 1 n i ln[ p i ( )] N( ) N is a function of q as in the case of a detector efficiency, If there is no functional relation between N and the result is the same as for the non extended likelihood 19

32 MC toy model First problem: due to detector efficiencies and to undetected neutrinos which accompain the Higgs decay products, the reconstructed mass could not coincide with the true mass The figure shows the weight ln(1+s/b) when the reconstructed mass is 110 GeV and the weights are calculated for true Higgs masses bewtween GeV The weight plot was called spaghetti plot 32
