On Observability of Signal Over Background

Several criteria used by physicists to quantify the ratio of signal to background in planned experiments are compared. An equal probabilities test is proposed for the evaluation of the uncertainty in planned search experiments. We also considered a probability of discovery as a quantity for comparis...
