Search Strategies, limit setting and discoveries at the LHC and beyond

• Lecturer: Oleg Brandt

• Lecture Times: TBD

• Problem sheet No 1 and Problem sheet No 2.
• Syllabus: Hypothesis testing, the CLs method (central to understanding searches at the LHC) using the hunt for the Higgs boson at LEP, Tevatron, and the LHC for illustration, followed by representative examples how searches are designed.
• Important information:
  • In order to follow and fully benefit from the lecture, the students are expected read two papers beforehand:
    • The famous overview paper on the CLs method by Alex Read
    • The original ATLAS Higgs observation paper
  • Additional reading for the students (may be helpful for the understanding):
    • #12 – CLs iteslf,
    • #11 – hypothesis testing
