Task given to the agent
Using `data/synth_sigbkg.csv` (data card in README.md, including the normalisation rule), scan a lower
threshold t on `met` over t = 50, 75, 100, ..., 300 GeV (inclusive, step 25). For each threshold compute
the expected signal yield S(t) and background yield B(t) after the selection `met > t`, normalised to
sigma * L exactly as the data card prescribes (including the per-event `weight`), and the figure of merit
Z(t) = S(t) / sqrt(B(t)).
Deliverables:
- `result.json` with `scan` (list of objects `{"threshold": float, "S": float, "B": float, "Z": float}` in ascending
threshold order), `best_threshold` (float, the threshold maximising Z), `S_best`, `B_best`, `Z_best` (floats),
and `Z_no_cut` (float, S/sqrt(B) with no selection).
- `figures/scan.svg`: Z(t) versus t with an x-axis label that includes "GeV".
- `solution.py`: the complete analysis; `python solution.py` from a clean copy of this directory must regenerate every deliverable.
