Dear All,
Here is the stats package I mentioned:
http://www-ekp.physik.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ott/theta/theta-auto/
An example is given as part of the package.
It also has some nice output html pages which display the results.
Regards
Meenakshi

Compare the reach, advantages, and disadvantages, and complementarity of the various methods. What can each method tell us about the quantum numbers and interactions of the dark matter particle? (needs to be organized with CF).

How does the sensitivity to these models compare to that from direct collider searches? Are there collider observables sensitive to the neutrino mixing angles? (needs to be organized with IF)

How does the sensitivity to these models compare to that from direct collider searches? Are there new sources of flavor mixing beyond the CKM angles that might show up either in low-energy or in high-energy measurements? (needs to be organized with IF)

> 4. Future of the Higgs -- To what extent have we already ruled out models of the Higgs field beyond the simple Standard Model? What are examples of models that predict deviations from the Standard Model in the Higgs couplings, and at what levels? What is the interplay between Higgs coupling measurement and searches for new particles? What should be the goal in precision Higgs measurement?

> 5. Future of the Top Quark -- To what extent have we tested the statement that the couplings of the top quark agree with the Standard Model? What models of new physics predict variations in the top quark couplings that will be visible when we achieve a higher level of precision? What is the interplay between measurement of top quark couplings and searches for new particles? The top quark mass is an important parameter for many purposes; how accurately must it be measured, and how can that be accomplished? (need input from IF)

> 6. Future of Precision Electroweak -- How will the precision tests of the electroweak interactions improve in the coming generation of experiments, both from improved measurements at high energy and from lower energy probes such as Moller scattering and Atomic Parity Violation? What are the achievable accuracies on mW, mZ, alpha, alpha_s, sin2thetaw, etc.? What accuracies are needed to test predictions of new physics models?

> 7. Instrumentation for High-Luminosity Hadron Colliders -- High energy hadron colliders face serious experimental problems, especially in event reconstruction in the presence of high pileup. What new technologies are emerging to confront the problems of triggering, heavy flavor ID, and precision tracking and calorimetry in this environment. How do the specifications of these technologies align with the requirements for physics measurements? (needs to be organized with InstF)
>
> 8. Instrumentation for Future Lepton Colliders -- Future lepton colliders present a mixture of opportunities and challenges for particle experimentation. At large angles, ILC offers a very low-background experimental environment, while linear colliders detectors at small angles and muon collider detectors must deal with very large background rates. These features of future lepton colliders have spurred the development of new technologies, including, on the one hand, silicon detectors with minimal material and energy flow calorimetry at the level of single particle sensitivity and, on the other hand, trackers and calorimeters with nanosecond time windows. What is the range of such future detector technologies, and how does it match the needs of the physics? (needs to be organized with InstF)

> 9. Beyond the Terascale -- What are the most important elements of the case for hadron colliders at 30-100 TeV and lepton colliders at 3-10 TeV? What sorts of particles or phenomena will we be searching for at such energies? What are the requirements from the physics on collider parameters and on experimental design? (needs to be organized with Capabilities, and with input from IF)
