I'm trying to type while making notes as fast as I can. If you understand the talk, then don't read what I'm writing. If you disagree with what I'm writing, then you should post. | ||

I think he said that they have 5 exit channels so they have to be able to identify which channel they actually see. They do that by fitting to simulation. | ||

 I guess the slides are not public yet.  Who is giving the seminar? | ||

How they've managed to fine tune their measurements using other variables in the standard model to a very fine degree. Then with this as a sort of barometer they are able to search for the Higgs particle with high accuracy. | ||

You basically tell the computer everything that can happen at each step and what the odds are for each process. Then you let the computer do its thing many, many, many times. | ||

Due diligence is a huge part of good science since data without context is useless. After all, we remember the 'neutrinos faster than light' frenzy. | ||

Oh, I understand what he's talking about with regard to the Monte Carlo. But I can't stop myself from thinking about cards. | ||
