Blind analysis in Physics experiments: Is this trip necessary?
Robert Golub
Based on the work of Klein and Roodman [2] we present an alternate conclusion as to the charm of blind analysis in physics experiments.
“The experience in medical research has shown that even double blind analysis is not sufficient to avoid experimental bias when the experimenter’s are really determined. Physicists on the other hand still have the ability to follow the advice of my mentor, Prof Gerrold R. Zacharias who often repeated the statement that experimental physics was really all about Character.”
