We preliminary focus on some aspects of the statistical analyses in particle physics.
Then, two new analyses on the neutrino mass hierachy (MA) will be presented.
The first focuses on the determination of MA with neutrino from accelerator beams, while the second one with antineutrino from reactor plants.

Since the early Sixties, the Standard Model has represented the state of the art in High Energy Physics. It describes how the fundamental particles interact with each others and with the forces between them, giving rise to the matter in the universe. Despite its empirical confirmations, there are indications that the Standard Model does itself not complete our understanding of the universe. ...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The p < 0.000029% criterion used in HEP and astro-HEP does not appear adequate to cover all experimental situations. The seminar will start with a short history of anomalies found in HEP data and their resolution, and then focus on the statistical problem of defining a proper discovery level for new phenomena and on the non-trivial issues it...
