Statistical issues in searches for new phenomena in High Energy Physics
Many analyses of data in High Energy Physics are concerned with searches for New Physics. We review the statistical issues that arise in such searches, and then illustrate these using the specific example of the recent successful search for the Higgs boson, produced in collisions between high energy protons at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.
متن کاملStatistical Challenges for Searches for New Physics at the Lhc
Because the emphasis of the LHC is on 5σ discoveries and the LHC environment induces high systematic errors, many of the common statistical procedures used in High Energy Physics are not adequate. I review the basic ingredients of LHC searches, the sources of systematics, and the performance of several methods. Finally, I indicate the methods that seem most promising for the LHC and areas that ...
متن کاملSearches for New Physics
Current experimental limits for new physics beyond the Standard Model and hints for deviations from Standard Model expectations will be reviewed, highlighting recent results. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles, large extra dimensions, new gauge bosons, dynamical symmetry breaking, muon g 2, rare decays and lepton flavor violation. The discover...
متن کاملStatistical Physics of Random Searches
We apply the theory of random walks to quantitatively describe the general problem of how to search eÆciently for randomly located objects that can only be detected in the limited vicinity of a searcher who typically has a nite degree of \free will" to move and search at will. We illustrate L evy ight search processes by comparison to Brownian random walks and discuss experimental observations ...
متن کاملChiral Symmetries and Low Energy Searches for New Physics
The search for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) lies at the forefront of the intersection of nuclear physics with particle physics and cosmology. In this talk, I attempt to give an overview of low-energy studies that are being used in this search and try to describe ways in which they complement present and future high energy collider studies. As theme for this meeting is the broken chir...
