Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays versus Models of High Energy Hadronic Interactions
Blaž Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
We evaluate the consistency of hadronic interaction models in the CORSIKA simulation package with publicly available fluorescence telescope data from the Pierre Auger Observatory.…
Resolution of (Heavy) Primaries in Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Blaž Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
Measurements of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) suggest a complex composition with significant contributions from heavy nuclei at the highest energies. We systematically expl…
Learning the Composition of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays
Blaz Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik, Michele Tammaro
We apply statistical inference on the Pierre Auger Open Data to discern for the first time the full mass composition of cosmic rays at different energies. Working with longitudinal…
Bump Hunting in Latent Space
Blaž Bortolato, Barry M. Dillon, Jernej F. Kamenik +1
Unsupervised anomaly detection could be crucial in future analyses searching for rare phenomena in large datasets, as for example collected at the LHC. To this end, we introduce a…
The LHC Olympics 2020: A Community Challenge for Anomaly Detection in High Energy Physics
Gregor Kasieczka, Benjamin Nachman, David Shih +44
A new paradigm for data-driven, model-agnostic new physics searches at colliders is emerging, and aims to leverage recent breakthroughs in anomaly detection and machine learning. I…
Light Majorana Neutrinos in (Semi)invisible Meson Decays
Blaz Bortolato, Jernej F. Kamenik
We reconsider decays of pseudoscalar mesons (P) to neutrino pairs and possibly additional photons in presence of (light) Majorana neutrinos. For this purpose we derive a model-inde…
