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...

Cvc in Particle Physics

We review the hypothesis of the conserved vector current (CVC) within the Standard Model. In addition to the classic tests, such as pion beta decay and neutrino scattering, we mention recent tests involving LEP data. As well as providing a clear indication that the isovector current is not conserved, rho-omega mixing offers a fascinating opportunity to study CP violation at B-factories and we o...

Particle Physics in Perspective

I review the development of particle physics in the past from a historical and methodological viewpoint. Particle physics has gone through certain characteristic periods in the course of discoveries and accumulation of knowledge, both experimental and theoretical. To analyze this situation, I draw on the theses of three stages and three modes, and illustrate the points with examples, up to the ...
