چکیده
The paper advocates the use of a statistical tool dedicated to the exploration of data samples populated by several sources of events. This new technique, called s Plot, is able to unfold the contributions of the different sources to the distribution of a data sample in a given variable. The s Plot tool applies in the context of a Likelihood fit which is performed on the data sample to determine the yields of the various sources.

The properties of statistical ensembles with abelian charges close to the thermodynamic limit are discussed. The finite volume corrections to the probability distributions and particle density moments are calculated. Results are obtained for statistical ensembles with both exact and average charge conservation. A new class of variables (semi–intensive variables) which differ in the thermodynami...

We argue that the shape of the system-size dependence of strangeness production in nucleus-nucleus collisions can be understood in a picture that is based on the formation of clusters of overlapping strings. A string percolation model combined with a statistical description of the hadronization yields a quantitative agreement with the data at √ s N N = 17.3 GeV. The model is also applied to RHI...

We will show an application of neural networks to extract information on the structure of hadrons. A Monte Carlo over experimental data is performed to correctly reproduce data errors and correlations. A neural network is then trained on each Monte Carlo replica via a genetic algorithm. Results on the proton and deuteron structure functions, and on the nonsinglet parton distribution will be shown.

We investigate the Q 2 evolution of parton distributions at small x values, obtained in the case of flat initial conditions. The results are in excellent agreement with deep inelastic scattering experimental data from HERA.
