Sensitivity App

Shows a view of an arbitrary detector sensitivity under two different statistical assumptions. Here we will use:

Z = Sensitivity in units of σ
s = Signal rate
b = Background rate
t = time (units matching s and b)
σ = Background rate fractional uncertainty

Discovery

This is the sensitivity to reject a non-zero hypothesis:

Measurement

This is the sensitivity to measure the value of s for a given signal rate:

How to run

It is recommended to run in a new virtual environment:

python3 -m venv sdash
source sdash/bin/activate

Install the requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the app

python app.py
