Dawid, Richard (2017): Bayesian perspectives on the discovery of the Higgs particle. In: Synthese, Vol. 194, No. 2: pp. 377-394

Abstract

It is argued that the high degree of trust in the Higgs particle before its discovery raises the question of a Bayesian perspective on data analysis in high energy physics in an interesting way that differs from other suggestions regarding the deployment of Bayesian strategies in the field.
