Progress of Theoretical Physics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.

Physical Review Letters

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of leptonic decays based on unitary symmetry for strong interactions and the V-A theory for weak interactions is presented, and an explanation for the observed predominance of the LAMBDA yields + e/sup -/ + nu decay over the lamBDA /sup −/ yields n + e /sup + n decay.

Presentation of search results: the CLs technique

Alexander Lincoln Read

- 17 Sep 2002 -

Journal of Physics G

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a framework for the presentation of search results which is motivated by frequentist statistics, and argue that the so-called CLs technique for setting limits is appropriate for determining exclusion intervals while the determination of confidence intervals advocated by Feldman and Cousins' method is more appropriate for treating established signals, i.e. going beyond discovery to measurement.
