    5858where \(N_\textrm{sig}\) is the number of events identified as potential gammas from the source direction ('on-source') and \(N_\textrm{bg}\) the number of gamma-like events measured 'off-source'. Note that for Simulations, \(\hat N_\textrm{bg}\) is not necessarily zero for wobble-mode observations as an event can survive the analysis for on- and off-events, if this is not prevented by the analysis (cuts).

    60 The average number of background events \(\hat N_\textrm{bg}\) is the total number of background events \(N_\textrm{bg}\) from all off-regions times the corresponding weight \(\omega\). For five off-regions, this yields
     60The average number of background events \(\hat N_\textrm{bg}\) is the total number of background events \(N_\textrm{bg}\) from all off-regions times the corresponding weight \(\alpha=\frac{1}{5}\). For five off-regions, this yields
