Errors quoted on results are often given in asymmetric form. An account is given of the two ways these can arise in an analysis, and the combination of asymmetric errors is discussed. It is shown that the usual method has no basis and is indeed wrong. For asymmetric systematic errors, a consistent method is given, with detailed examples. For asymmetric statistical errors a general approach is outlined.

  1. Searches for CE{\nu}NS and Physics beyond the Standard Model using Skipper-CCDs at CONNIE

    hep-ex 2024-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    CONNIE's first Skipper-CCD run at Angra-2 yields no CEνNS excess, comparable prior limits on neutrino rates, improved bounds on light vector mediators, and record surface DM-electron limits via diurnal modulation.

  2. The impact of source and survey modelling on the connection between [O III] emitters and Ly $\alpha$ forest transmission at z ~ 6

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Empirical halo-to-[O III] emitter modeling with realistic JWST survey mocks produces cross-correlations consistent with z~6 data within large scatter, but with a ~10 cMpc offset in the 1D peak.
