The Terascale alliance statistics school March 23, 13h00 - March 27, 13h00 at DESY Hamburg is designed for master/PhD students and young postdocs analysing LHC or other particle physics experiments data.
It aims at providing education/support/guidance for essential tasks in physics analyses such as fitting parameters or setting limits.
The tentative programme comprises:
- Frederick James: Comprehensive Lectures on statistics for HEP data analyses:
- Combination with emphasis on the BLUE method
Please take note: The school is followed on 30-31 March by a 2-days HistFitter Tutorial. More information coming soon!
Registration fee: 50 Euro (this includes all nutrition costs for coffee and cookies and the school dinner on one of the evenings. The fee is to be paid in cash during the registration).
