To unblind the search results of the Higgs boson along with my colleagues.
And the unblinding went in the coming afternoon into my story.
As time approached the unblinding event, I started putting the final version of the plots from my colleagues onto the page, one
Our channel was the second to unblind , starting at 3:30 PM.
To finalize the analysis for the unblinding and to synchronize among different teams equals to a huge effort of the entire group.
Christoph was flying to CERN for the unblinding event in the coming afternoon, the event that unblinded search results from all the channels
treatment at all which is unblinded comparison all of the treatment groups did better than the no treatment group but the placebo was no different than
Let me start from the night when we first unblinded the Higgs search result.
Each team was going to produce a set of unblinded results to cross check.
Representing them, I was going to unblind our Higgs search results.
Higgs boson decaying to two photons, unblinding .
Around 3:00 AM, both teams unblinded the two-photon mass spectrum of the 2012 data-- clear excess jumping
OK, this is the true unblinding .
The is for , and the magenta-- The unblinded two-photon results
Representing the Higgs to two-photon working group, I was going to unblind our Higgs search results to the CMS collaboration in the coming afternoon, the results still
Our understanding always progresses with time, and the future will unblind .
We tried not to speak loudly, since we had to keep the secret until the unblinding event in the afternoon.
They have the capability to look at this blinded data in an unblinded fashion and then they shared that information with us.
Our other colleagues, after their super quick and collaborative effort, had left earlier to the unblinding event, which
My teammates always gave me the strongest support, my Higgs to two photons colleagues striving together on the unblinding night, and the entire group
