The background is evaluated in a declination band whose half-width is equal to the RoI radius. The observed 'signal-like' events are those falling inside the RoI. Feldman and Cousins statistics is applied to determine the significance of this observation accounting for the fluctuations expected in the background. The aim of the analysis is set an upper limit, at a given confidence level, on the presence of a source at a given sky position.
An upper limit on the number of events observed is not a very useful quantity for the community outside ANTARES, because it still contains the detector response. The upper limit on the number of events is therefore turned into an upper limit on the flux emitted by the source, which is an interesting information for drwaing physics conclusions. To unfold the effect of the detector response, the acceptance of the detector is computed and provided alongside the ANTARES arrival direction data.
Here follows the step-by-step description of the code provided as [Jupyter notebook](https://open-data.pages.km3net.de/openscienceportal/notebooks/ANTARES_PointSource)
