I will discuss a few aspects of electroweak theory relevant for neutrino scattering on different targets. The presentation will follow historical developments starting with the discovery of the neutron, the establishment of Fermi beta theory and finishing with the SM electroweak sector. A few aspects of effective theories will be covered. And an explicit calculation of the CEvNS cross section,...
This three-lecture series will explore the construction and interpretation of confidence intervals within the context of particle physics. We will begin by defining the likelihood function and highlighting its central role in statistical inference. Through a concrete example, we will examine how the likelihood depends on the number of observed events, with special attention to the challenges...
