    "abstract": "A frequentist definition of sensitivity of a search for new phenomena is\ndiscussed, that has several useful properties. It is based on completely\nstandard concepts, is generally applicable, and has a very clear\ninterpretation. It is particularly suitable for optimization, being independent\nof a-priori expectations about the presence of a signal, thus allowing the\ndetermination of a single set of cuts that is optimal both for setting limits\nand for making a discovery. Simple approximate formulas are given for the\ncommon problem of Poisson counts with background.",
