Publisher's Synopsis
Data Analysis in High Energy Physics covers the essential tasks in statistical data analysis encountered in high energy physics and provides comprehensive advice for typical questions and problems. The basic methods for inferring results from data are presented as well as tools for advanced tasks such as improving the signal-to-background ratio, correcting detector effects, determining systematics and many others First chapter provides a mechanism for the dominance of kinetic energy in pre- Planckian space-time, as well as its reversal in the Planckian era of cosmology. Second chapter expands on the ideas contained in the original publication and provides a more solid set of recommendations, not only concerning data preservation and its implementation in high-energy physics, but also the future direction and organisational model of the study group. Third chapter presents an overview of technological aspects related to data acquisition (DAQ) systems for particle physics experiments. Being a general topic as data acquisition can be, particle physics experiments pose some challenges which deserve a special description and for which special solutions may be adopted. In fourth chapter, transfinite fractal sets and fuzzy logic are combined to enable the introduction of a new theory termed fractal logic to the foundation of high energy particle physics. Fifth chapter focuses on the quality management of the R&D in high energy physics detector. In sixth chapter, we give a short overview of the Grid computing for the experiments at the LHC and the basics of the mission of the WLCG. Seventh chapter focuses on quality control and characterization of scintillating crystals for high energy physics and medical applications. In eighth chapter, issues of applying the radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator to ion implantation for material modification and microelectronics will be discussed at first. Gedanken experiment for refining the unruh metric tensor uncertainty principle via schwartz shield geometry and planckian space-time with initial nonzero entropy and applying the riemannian-penrose inequality and initial kinetic energy for a lower bound to graviton mass is presented in ninth chapter. In last chapter, an analytical law for the evolution of the magnetic field along the radio-jets is deduced using a linear relation between the magnetic pressure and the rest density.
