Title: Bayesian Perspectives on the Discovery of the Higgs Particle

Abstract:
The history of the Higgs discovery is characterized by a specific 
constellation: trust in the existence of a Higgs particle was very 
strong already before the particle's discovery. This raises the issue of 
a Bayesian perspective on data analysis in high energy physics in an 
interesting way that differs from other contexts in the field where the 
deployment of Bayesian strategies was proposed.
