    "abstract": "We propose a method to estimate the probability of new physics discovery in\nfuture high energy physics experiments. Physics simulation gives both the\naverage numbers $\u003cN_b\u003e$ of background and $\u003cN_s\u003e$ of signal events. We find\nthat the proper definition of the significance for $\u003cN_b\u003e, \u003cN_s\u003e \\gg 1$ is\n$S_{12} = \\sqrt{\u003cN_s\u003e+\u003cN_b\u003e} - \\sqrt{\u003cN_b\u003e}$ in comparison with often used\nsignificances $S_1 = \u003cN_s\u003e/\\sqrt{\u003cN_b\u003e}$ and $S_2 = \u003cN_s\u003e/\\sqrt{\u003cN_s\u003e +\n\u003cN_b\u003e}$. We also propose a method for taking into account the systematical\nerrors related to nonexact knowledge of background and signal cross sections.\nAn account of such systematics is very essential in the search for\nsupersymmetry at LHC.",
