Speaker: Richard Dawid (MCMP) Date: Wed., April 29 Location: Ludwigstr. 31, ground floor, room 021 Time: 18:15 -⁠⁠ 19:45 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.
