08:45 - 09:30
CPLTV: I will review the current status of the 2nd CPTLV note, showing the major plots. This includes: (1) the use of omega_a/omega_p and variable definitions (2) extraction of sensitivity (without systematic effects). (3) extraction of confidence level limits using Bayesian analysis (without systematic effects) Goal for the day is to implement the systematic effects into (2) and (3) ULSDM: I will briefly present the remaining items to finalize the data analysis. This will includes: (1) R_mu Sensitivity evaluation in the absence of significant signal (2) R_mu confidence interval in the presence of a significant signal

For CPTLV, I will show the updated false alarm probability and confidence level limits, hopefully including all the systematic effects. For ULSDM, I will present preliminary results for both cases: (I) signal-non-detection and (II) signal detection. Also, I want to discuss a specific scenario where we find multiple peaks.

CPTLV: Thus far I have simulated only a single mode at fs. Goal is to complete the ToyMC simulations with 5 simultaneous and show that the GLS algorithm extracts them all properly. Similarly, we use a boosted data set and inject many signal modes, and show that the GLS algorithm extracts the modes properly. After checks, send a boosted data set to Simon for blinded signal injection. ULSDM: I will briefly present the remaining items to finalize the systematics. This will include: (1) The systematic-inclusive upper limit (2) Systematic uncertainty arising from the positron-weighted timing scheme
