CLs method (particle physics)
ID: cls-method-particle-physics
The CLs method is a statistical technique used in particle physics to evaluate the significance of a signal (such as a potential new particle or interaction) versus background noise in experimental data. The method is particularly useful in the context of hypothesis testing, where researchers are trying to distinguish between a "null hypothesis" (that there is no signal present) and an "alternative hypothesis" (that there is a signal present).
