PHYSTAT seminar: Can we really "Re"-interpret data from the LHC?

by Nicholas Wardle (Imperial College (GB))

Wednesday 10 Mar 2021, 11:00 → 12:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

Data from high energy physics experiments are expensive. It takes many person-hours and multiple millions of euros/dollars/pounds/swiss francs to produce and collect data from the LHC. Naturally, being able to re-interpret published results and information from the LHC experiments is vital to ensure the longevity of the LHC data and its validity in global searches for new physics - it’s just not enough to publish limits excluding some well motivated model or measure some parameters and move on. I will discuss ongoing efforts to make Run-2 LHC results and data “re”-interpretable so that they can be re-used long after the results are published, and the various levels of approximation they require. I’ll discuss several ways such re-interpretations are performed in the high energy physics community and hopes for future runs of the LHC.

The seminar will be done remote only.
