61. Basic Aspects of Neutrino Physics

Diego Aristizabal (Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (USM))

Talk

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,...

63. Confidence intervals in particle physics

Dario Rodrigues (Departamento de Física. Buenos Aires, Argentina, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales y CONICET - Universidad de Buenos Aires, Instituto de Física de Buenos Aires (IFIBA). Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Talk

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...
