Bayesian Perspectives on the Discovery of the Higgs Particle
Synthese 194 (2):377-394 (2017)
Abstract
It is argued that the high degree of trust in the Higgs particle before its discovery raises the question of a Bayesian perspective on data analysis in high energy physics in an interesting way that differs from other suggestions regarding the deployment of Bayesian strategies in the field.Author's Profile
