PHYSTAT – Systematics Workshop
PHYSTAT – Systematics Workshop The PHYSTAT-Systematics meeting, held remotely in early November, was the latest in a series of PHYSTAT events. Begun in 2000, these were the first Workshops focused on statistical issues in particle physics. They started at CERN, which has hosted 3 further meetings. An important feature of PHYSTAT events is the participation

The likelihood is dead, long live the likelihood
The likelihood is dead, long live the likelihood Among the sciences, particle physics has the luxury of having a well established theoretical basis. Often we focus on the elementary particles and model them mathematically with quantum field theories like the Standard Model. In order to compare with data, we must also model the additional radiation,

Cornering right-handed neutrinos
Cornering right-handed neutrinos Right-handed neutrinos: the missing piece of the puzzle? The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is one of the most successful scientific theories ever developed. Together with the theory of General Relativity it can describe most of the observed phenomena in nature at a fundamental level. However, a number of established experimental
