Blind Analysis in Particle Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of the blind analysis technique, as used in particle physics measurements, is presented. The history of blind analyses in physics is briefly discussed. Next the dangers of experimenter’s bias and the advantages of a blind analysis are described. Three distinct kinds of blind analysis in particle physics are presented in detail. Finally, the BABAR collaboration’s experience with the blind analysis technique is discussed.

Blind Analysis in Nuclear and Particle Physics
Over the past decade or so, blind analysis has become a widely used tool in nuclear and particle physics measurements. A blind analysis avoids the possibility of experimenters biasing their result toward their own preconceptions by preventing them from knowing the answer until the analysis is complete. There is at least circumstantial evidence that such a bias has affected past measurements, an...
متن کاملResearch of Blind Signals Separation with Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Mutual Information
Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...

متن کاملStructural, morphological and optical characterization of green synthesized ZnS nanoparticles using Azadirachta Indica (Neem) leaf extract
ZnS nanoparticles have been synthesized using various amounts of aqueous Azadirachta Indica (Neem) leaf extract as capping agent and stabilizer. The synthesized nanoparticles were studied by FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) and UV-Visible spectroscopy. FTIR spect...
