Table 12.

Summary of model-independent upper limits for the five signal regions, in the below-Z region (20<m<70 GeV for SR-loose, 20<m<80 GeV for all other signal regions), in the combined ee+μμ and individual ee and μμ channels. Left to right: the observed yield (Ndata), total expected background (Nbkg), 95 % CL upper limits on the visible cross section (ϵσobs95) and on the number of signal events (Sobs95 ). The fifth column (Sexp95) shows the 95 % CL upper limit on the number of signal events, given the expected number (and ±1σ excursions on the expectation) of background events. The last two columns indicate the CLB value, i.e. the confidence level observed for the background-only hypothesis, and the discovery p-value (p(s=0)). For an observed number of events lower than expected, the discovery p-value has been truncated at 0.5
