Searching for new physics in two-body decays: Ideas and pitfalls

Many new physics processes, and indeed many Standard Model interactions involve two-body decays. Although the kinematics are relatively simple, mistakes can easily be made when applying cuts to data in order to separate the signal from backgrounds. We present a short, but relevant list of possible s...

description Many new physics processes, and indeed many Standard Model interactions involve two-body decays. Although the kinematics are relatively simple, mistakes can easily be made when applying cuts to data in order to separate the signal from backgrounds. We present a short, but relevant list of possible sources of errors, and discuss the consequences of these.
