Fig. 9: Exclusion significances.

From: Elliptic anisotropy measurement of the f0(980) hadron in proton-lead collisions and evidence for its quark-antiquark composition

Fig. 9

Same as Fig. 4 but using \({{\mbox{f}}}_{0}(980)\,{v}_{2}^{{{\rm{sub}}}}\) data within the restricted ranges pT < 8 GeV/c (a) and pT < 6 GeV/c (b). c The expected log-likelihood ratio distributions for nq = 2 vs. 3 hypotheses from the pseudo-experiments and the observed value for the f0(980) in data in the pT < 8 GeV/c range to extract the exclusion significance for nq = 3.
