アブストラクト: With the forthcoming operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, new neutrino experiments, the GLAST experiment looking for sources of gamma rays, etc, there is much hope that exciting new discoveries will soon be made. When such evidence is apparently found, there is a vital need to assess whether this is due to exciting new physics, an unfortunate statistical fluctuation, or some misinterpetation of the data. This talk deals with some of the statistical issues involved in searching for a new effect, and is a preview of the forthcoming Workshop at CERN on June 27th-29th on this subject.
