Explanation of Contur plot format

The plots have two sections.

  • The top shows the measurement (black point with error bars) compared to the sum of the measurement plus any contribution from the BSM scenario under consideration (red histogram).
  • The lower section displays the same information but now as a ratio to the measurement BSM/data (red histogram), with the yellow band indicating the fractional uncertainty in the measurement. So, loosely, if the red histogram has an excursion beyond the yellow band, expect an exclusion of 65% or more.
