SUMMARY:Statistical aspects in the determination of the proton's structure

CONTACT:Dr Priscilla Canizares
DESCRIPTION:The interpretation of the high energy physics data taken at th
 e Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\, and the assessment of possible hints of ph
 ysics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics\, require the pre
 cise knowledge of the proton structure in terms of a set of functions para
 metrizing its content in terms of its elementary constituents\, quarks and
  gluons. These functions are known as Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs)
 .   In this talk I will illustrate the statistical aspects involved in the
  solution of the inverse problem of determining PDFs from the LHC data\, a
 nd how machine learning combined with Bayesian sampling techniques can be 
 applied to obtain a faithful and robust determination of such functions.
