Simple, but not simplified: A new approach for optimising beyond-Standard Model physics searches at the Large Hadron Collider
Melissa van Beekveld, Philip Grace, Anders Kvellestad +2
Searches for beyond-Standard Model physics scenarios, such as supersymmetry (SUSY), at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are frequently optimised on simplified models. After assuming…

A comparison of optimisation algorithms for high-dimensional particle and astrophysics applications
The DarkMachines High Dimensional Sampling Group, Csaba Balázs, Melissa van Beekveld +18
Optimisation problems are ubiquitous in particle and astrophysics, and involve locating the optimum of a complicated function of many parameters that may be computationally expensi…

Combining outlier analysis algorithms to identify new physics at the LHC
Melissa van Beekveld, Sascha Caron, Luc Hendriks +7
The lack of evidence for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider so far has prompted the development of model-independent search techniques. In this study, we compare the anomaly…
