On the frequency distribution of neutral particles from low-energy strong interactions
Federico Colecchia, Akram Khan
The rejection of the contamination, or background, from low-energy strong interactions at hadron collider experiments is a topic that has received significant attention in the fiel…
Data-driven estimation of neutral pileup particle multiplicity in high-luminosity hadron collider environments
Federico Colecchia
The upcoming operation regimes of the Large Hadron Collider are going to place stronger requirements on the rejection of particles originating from pileup, i.e. from interactions b…
Particle-level kinematic fingerprints and the multiplicity of neutral particles from low-energy strong interactions
Federico Colecchia
The contamination, or background, from uninteresting low-energy strong interactions is a major issue for data analysis at the Large Hadron Collider. In the light of the challenges…
Toward the estimation of background fluctuations under newly-observed signals in particle physics
Federico Colecchia
When the number of events associated with a signal process is estimated in particle physics, it is common practice to extrapolate background distributions from control regions to a…
Toward particle-level filtering of individual collision events at the Large Hadron Collider and beyond
Federico Colecchia
Low-energy strong interactions are a major source of background at hadron colliders, and methods of subtracting the associated energy flow are well established in the field. Tradit…
A sampling algorithm to estimate the effect of fluctuations in particle physics data
Federico Colecchia
Background properties in experimental particle physics are typically estimated using large data sets. However, different events can exhibit different features because of the quantu…
