Constraining the mass of a hypothetical new particle:
analysis strategy on a toy model
As a last example of an application, let us consider a
case which somehow reminds one of the current effort to reduce the
uncertainty of the mass of the
Higgs particle. Since I don't have access to the original
data, and I don't want this exercise to be considered as any
a kind of claim, I will just invent the rules of the
game.9.4So, physics data and results will be imaginary, but the inferential
procedure will be performed according to what I consider
to be the proper way of doing it.
