Estimate with Poisson Statistics (90% CL) for little number signals (no bkgd)

** Numbers from  0 to 20 taken from  hep-ph/9711021 v2
** Numbers from 21 to 29 taken from extrapolation of previous numbers
** ==> MAX=-0.0088*x**2+1.45*x+2.88 et MIN 0.014*x**2+0.43*x-0.34

If you obtain N=5 events in selection, which means  the limit [1.84;9.99] on the possible mean value
