The analysis and blinding framework for MUSE

ORAL

Abstract

The MUon Scattering Experiment (MUSE) is a precision scattering experiment designed to measure the electromagnetic form factors of the proton using leptons from the first and second generations. To support analysis efforts spanning multiple institutions in an international collaboration, the MUSE experiment adopted the "cooker" analysis framework and a sophisticated blinding strategy to prevent bias. In this talk, I will present the overall structure and key features of the framework, and explain how it implements and interacts with the blinding procedure, as well as our plans for unblinding.
