The planet occurrence rate for a planet in two separation ranges (10–100 au (black) and 50–100 au (blue)), as a function of the lower-mass cutoff, M min, integrated up to to 13 M J, following the formulation of Equation (2). The E. L. Nielsen et al. (2019) occurrence rate of 8.9% (10–100 au, 5–13 M J) is indicated as a black data point while the predicted occurrence rate of ∼30% at the NIRCam sensitivity level of 0.5–13 M J for 50–100 au is indicated by the blue data point. The yellow shaded regions surrounding each line denote the ±1σ uncertainty due to the uncertainty in the the value of the nominal occurrence rate, f.
