Monte Carlo tuning and generator validation
Andy Buckley, Hendrik Hoeth, Heiko Lacker +2
We present the Monte Carlo generator tuning strategy followed, and the tools developed, by the MCnet CEDAR project. We also present new tuning results for the Pythia 6.4 event gene…
CKM matrix fits including constraints on New Physics
H. Lacker
I review the status of global fits to the CKM matrix within the framework of the Standard Model and also allowing for New Physics contributions in B-Bbar mixing. The driving force…
Reply to: ''Improved Determination of the CKM Angle alpha from B -> pipi decays''
J. Charles, A. Hoecker, H. Lacker +2
In reply to hep-ph/0701204 we demonstrate why the arguments made therein do not address the criticism exposed in hep-ph/0607246 on the fundamental shortcomings of the Bayesian appr…
Bayesian Statistics at Work: the Troublesome Extraction of the CKM Phase alpha
J. Charles, A. Hocker, H. Lacker +2
In Bayesian statistics, one's prior beliefs about underlying model parameters are revised with the information content of observed data from which, using Bayes' rule, a posterior b…
