DESCRIPTION:\n	The first three days of the meeting (January 17 to 19) will
  deal with the statistical issues related to discovery claims in search ex
 periments\, concentrating on those at the LHC. Topics to be dealt with wil
 l include model selection methods\, inclusion of the effects of systematic
 s\, the 'Look Elsewhere Effect'\, practicalities of estimating significanc
 e\, whether 5 sigma should be a universal criterion for discovery\, sensit
 ivity of searches\, experience from earlier experiments\, etc. There will 
 be invited talks by Physicists and Statisticians\, and also time for contr
 ibuted papers and discussion.\n\n	This meeting is a follow up to the PHYST
 AT-LHC meeting at CERN in 2007 ( http://phystat-lhc.web.cern.ch/phystat-lh
 c/2008-001.pdf ) and to the recent Banff Workshop on statistical issues re
 lated to discovery claims (see http://www.birs.ca/events/2010/5-day-worksh
 ops/10w5068 \, and a report in a recent CERN Courier - see \nhttp://cernco
 urier.com/cws/article/cern/44115 ).\n\n	The last day of the meeting\,  Ja
 nuary 20\, will be dedicated to a 1-day Workshop focused on unfolding dete
 ctor resolution from experimental distributions. Again there will be a se
 ries of invited and contributed talks.\n	Following PHYSTAT\, on Jan 21 the
 re will be at CERN a meeting on "Progress on Multivariate Data Analysis wi
 th TMVA". For details and to register to this additional event\, seehttp:/
 /indico.cern.ch/event/tmva_workshop .\n	A useful reading list is attached
  below as "material".\n\n	A block of rooms at the CERN Hostel has been res
