Figure 8

Experimental spectrum with minimum (a) model around for the - data set. (a) shows the individual contributions of the considered background sources (colored curves) and the model prediction (black curve). The events colored in gray were used in the analysis, while the light gray shaded (unblinded data, UB data) ones have not been used in the analysis. The lower panel shows the best fit model fitted with a constant. In the fit, the peak areas predicted by the model and the 40 keV blinding window are not considered. (b) shows the same experimental spectrum compared with maximum model around for the - data set. From [28].
