Table 6.

Expected and observed 95 % C.L. lower exclusion limits on Λ for the LL, LR, and RR contact interaction search using a uniform positive prior in 1/Λ2 or 1/Λ4. The dielectron, dimuon, and combined dilepton channel limits are shown for both the constructive and destructive interference cases
