Simulation Based Inference for Efficient Theory Space Sampling: an Application to Supersymmetric Explanations of the Anomalous Muon (g-2)

Abstract

For the purpose of minimizing the number of sample model evaluations, we propose and study algorithms that utilize (sequential) versions of likelihood-to-evidence ratio neural estimation.We apply our algorithms to a supersymmetric interpretation of the anomalous muon magnetic dipole moment in the context of a phenomenological minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, and recover non-trivial models in an experimentally-constrained theory space. Finally we summarize further potential possible uses of these algorithms in future studies.
