Alex's results as of December 7 (towards December, 2000 publication)

Here is table of results (signal rates, 1-CLb(115), -2lnQ(115), mass limits) for individual and combined limits.

• ALEPH combined CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• DELPHI combined CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• L3 combined CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• OPAL combined CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb

• LEP combined CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• LEP combined by channel
• Leptons (ee and mumu) CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• Neutrinos CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• 4-Jets CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• Taus CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb
• Leptons+Neutrinos+Taus CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb

• DLO combined CLs, -2lnQ, 1-CLb

• 3 sigma search potentials for combined inputs: by channel and by experiment,
• 1-CLb versus -2lnQ for mh=115
and a zoom of the interesting region with our observed result indicated by the vertical red line. The effect of candidates arriving in the last days can be estimated by adding -2ln(1+S/B) for the new candidate(s) to the red line. This is only an approximation since the effect of the additional luminosity on 1-CLb is ignored, but if the additional luminosity is relatively small, then the approximation is relatively good.
• Plots for DELPHI and OPAL of -2lnQ versus test mass illustrating the expected behavior of a 115 GeV Higgs signal (the brown curves).
