* covariance mapping principle and its relation to coincidences [1,3]
* three- and higher-fold covariance [2]
* what is partial covariance and why is it useful?
* the noise from uncorrelated background (false coincidences)
* can partial covariance mapping be generalised to multi-fold correlations?
The introduction is going to be brief - really, the audience should be familiar with earlier work:
