    The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole has been taking high-quality data in the deep-ice since 2010. Extremely high energy neutrinos that carry energies above 1 PeV have been observed. The most constraining limits on the flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos, which could come from cosmogenic origins have been obtained based on a binned Poisson-likelihood-ratio method. In...

    Precisely one neutrino mass hierarchy is realized in nature. How can this crucial fact be incorporated into a statistical analysis of the mass hierarchy? It implies that the problem is not hypothesis testing, but rather model selection. The corresponding tools are standard, but different. We will discuss some statistical issues that will be relevant in this kind of experiment, present a...

    Talk
    The ORCA detector is the low-energy branch of the new generation neutrino telescope KM3NeT which is currently being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. Interactions of neutrinos that are created in cosmic ray interactions travel and through the Earth can be observed in the detector. By measuring the matter-induced oscillation effects on this flux, KM3NeT/ORCA aims at settling the question...

    In statistics, the problem of testing one hypothesis multiple times can be formulated in terms of hypothesis testing when a nuisance parameter is present only under the alternative, also known as “look-elsewhere effect”. Each possible value of the nuisance parameter specifies a different alternative hypothesis and a unique global p-value is provided to summarize the statistical evidence in...
