• Ideas before LH

Please add your name to the projects you are interested in contributing to:

• Correlated likelihood construction and applications
• Orthogonality of analyses' signal regions
• Recasting/fastsim tool & method comparisons
• Search/measurement compatibility and complementarity
• Reinterpretation tool interoperability / universal recasting tool
• Long-lived particle recasting
• Dilepton interference in searches
• Analysis description languages

• ML projects are located in the participants-only section

All welcome to contribute: https://www.overleaf.com/read/jzsrmbqffwtb

….this should actually become a short review of what material is provided by different experimental groups , how it is used in recasting, how it improves things, additional aspects to consider, etc…..cover searches as well as measurements……

Extra angles to include: use of event sharing from/between experiments and pheno? Analysis combinations by experiments on elementary nuisances: provide multi-analysis SL covariance.
