Physical basis of critical analysis

Abstract

A new approach to provide a fruitful analysis of signal amplitude is proposed. It is this method that has made it possible to eliminate some observed artificial events from the list of candidates for decays of superheavy nuclei. Examples of estimates of measured amplitudes of evaporation residues (EVR) are presented. Some attention is paid to a new hard statistical criterion for detecting rare events. This criterion can be applied in the case of significant role of random factors.
