Why it is here

A second major challenge to the thermal-Higgsino reading, focused on LZ's own sideband.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors argue that a full-density thermal Higgsino should also populate an empty higher-energy sideband. The strength of the tension depends on acceptance information that is not yet public.
