There will be three discussion meetings based on aspects of the
programme open to all internal project members. Others interested in
attending should contact Carlos Mora-Corral.
Team meetings, held roughly every four weeks, are open to anyone who is
interested. OxMOS post docs and Dphil students will give updates on the
research.
If new particles are produced at the LHC, it is vital that we can extract as much information as possible from them about the underlying theory. I will discuss some recent work on extracting spin information from invariant mass distributions of new particles. I will then introduce the Kullback-Leibler method of quantifying our ability to distinguish different scenarios.
