Introduction to Statistical Issues in Particle Physics
Particle Physics emerged as a discipline in its own right half a century ago. It pioneered ‘big science’; experiments are performed at accelerators of increasing energy and complexity by collaborations of many physicists from many institutes. It has evolved a research methodology within which statistics is of great importance, although it has done so without strong links to the statistics commu...
متن کاملStatistical Issues in Particle Physics
Many statistical issues arise in the analysis of Particle Physics experiments. We give a brief introduction to Particle Physics, before describing the techniques used by Particle Physicists for dealing with statistical problems, and also some of the open statistical questions. 1. Introduction. Particle Physics tries to delve into the structure of matter at its most basic level. It continues a t...
متن کاملA New Approach to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
We describe a new algorithm that approaches Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics in a different way. Instead of sampling the probability distribution at a fixed temperature, a random walk is performed in energy space to directly extract an estimate for the density of states. The canonical probability can then be found at any temperature by weighting by the appropriate Boltzmann factor,...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
In these notes I discuss Monte Carlo simulations for the study of classical models in statistical mechanics. I include a simple and direct proof that the method converges to the Boltzmann distribution. Usually, physics articles discuss this important point by just giving a reference to the mathematical literature on " Markov chains " , where the proof is rather abstract. In these notes I give a...
