Input to European Strategy Update for Particle Physics: Sustainability
Veronique Boisvert, Daniel Britzger, Samuel Calvet +14
Human activity continues to have an enormous negative impact on the ability of the planet to sustain human and other forms of life. Six out of the nine planetary boundaries have be…
pyBumpHunter: A model independent bump hunting tool in Python for High Energy Physics analyses
Louis Vaslin, Samuel Calvet, Vincent Barra +1
The BumpHunter algorithm is widely used in the search for new particles in High Energy Physics analysis. This algorithm offers the advantage of evaluating the local and global p-va…
Searching for sgluons in multitop events at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV
Samuel Calvet, Benjamin Fuks, Philippe Gris +1
Large classes of new physics theories predict the existence of new scalar states, commonly dubbed sgluons, lying in the adjoint representation of the QCD gauge group. Since these n…
Automatizing the search for mass resonances using BumpNet
Jean-Francois Arguin, Georges Azuelos, Ãmile Baril +15
The search for resonant mass bumps in invariant-mass distributions remains a cornerstone strategy for uncovering Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics at the Large Hadron Collide…
Search For Squarks And Gluinos At DO
Samuel Calvet
A search for scalar quarks and gluinos is performed with 0.96 fb^{-1} of data collected by the DO experiment in p\bar{p} collisions at \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron Co…
Automatizing the search for mass resonances using BumpNet
Jean-François Arguin, Georges Azuelos, Ãmile Baril +15
Physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has yet to be observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), motivating the development of model-agnostic, machine learning-based strategies t…
French HEP community input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics
Yasmine Amhis, Jeremy Andrea, Etienne Augé +23
In view of the European Strategy for Particle Physics process, the French HEP community has organized a national process of collecting written contributions and has pursued a serie…
Fitting the BumpHunter test statistic distribution and global p-value estimation
Louis Vaslin, Samuel Calvet, Vincent Barra +1
In high Energy Physics, it is common to look for a localized deviation in data with respect to a given reference. For this task, the well known BumpHunter algorithm allows for a mo…
