// determines the significance of a gamma signal in an |alpha| plot
// 
//
// Input : TH1 histogram of |alpha| : with 0 < |alpha| < 90 degrees
//         alphamin, alphamax :     defining the background region
//         alphasig           :     defining the signal region for which
//                                  the significance is calculated
//         degree : the degree of the polynomial to be fitted to the background
//                  ( a0 + a1*x + a2*x**2 + a3*x**3 + ...) 
//
// Output : 
//
//   - polynomial which describes the background in the background region
//   - the number of events in the signal region (Non)
//     the number of background events in the signal region (Nbg)
//   - the number of excess events in the signal region (Nex = Non - Nbg)
//   - thew effective number of background events (Noff), and gamma :
//     Nbg = gamma * Noff
//   - the significance of the gamma signal according to Li & Ma               
//
//
// call member function 'FindSigma' 
//      to fit the background and to determine the significance  
//
// call the member function 'SigmaVsAlpha'
//      to determine the significance as a function of alphasig
