Albert De Roeck (CERN), Davide Sgalaberna (CERN), Louis Lyons (Imperial College (GB)), Olaf Behnke (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DE))

Description

The workshops deals with the statistical issues in the broad range of modern neutrino physics, in particular in view of the increased precision of current and future experiments.Topics to be included are

Measuring model parameters, choosing between models
Setting limits, discovery
Determination of systematic uncertainties
Unfolding
Machine learning for event reconstruction and classification

The workshop will be a mixture of invited and contributed talks from physicists and statisticians.

This event is a follow-up of the two PHYSTAT-nu workshops in 2016 at Fermilab, https://indico.fnal.gov/event/11906/, and at the Kavli institute in Kashiwa, https://indico.ipmu.jp/indico/event/82/.

The homepage of PHYSTAT with a list of all past or planned workshops is at https://espace.cern.ch/phystat.

The registration is closed now. If you would like to participate to the workshop, please contact the organizers.
