Defines a measurement, sensitivity calculation or empirical decision rule. constructs a model, mechanism, calculation, protocol or intervention.
Exact assertion
The missing phase reference can be supplied by a calibrated continuum with the same quantum numbers. Near a narrow diphoton pole, write the amplitude as \(B+S/(x+i\gamma)\), where \(x=m_{\gamma\gamma}^2-m_a^2\). The above-minus-below bin difference is \(4BSx/(x^2+\gamma^2)\): the leading continuum square and signal square cancel, while the sign of the resonant residue remains.
The claim concerns a protocol, sensitivity or decision rule. It must be kept separate from a prediction that a nonzero signal exists.
