abstract
Particle physics experiments use likelihood ratio tests extensively to compare hypotheses and to construct confidence intervals. Often, the null distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic is approximated by a $\chi^2$ distribution, following a theorem due to Wilks. However, many circumstances relevant to modern experiments can cause this theorem to fail. In this paper, we review how to identify these situations and construct valid inference.

Anisotropy in Pantheon+ supernovae
A maximum-likelihood analysis of Pantheon+ supernovae finds a statistically significant dipole in the local Hubble expansion rate and in the deceleration parameter, which the authors interpret as evidence against a co...

Search for non-standard neutrino interactions with the first six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA
No non-standard neutrino interactions were found in 5828 atmospheric neutrino events from KM3NeT/ORCA6, yielding 90% CL limits on four NSI coupling parameters.

The flux of electron antineutrinos from supernova SN1987A data
A refined fit of the SN1987A antineutrino data finds accretion at about 99% confidence and a small, theory-compatible neutron fraction, closing a tension in older analyses.
