Many Wrongs Make a Right: Leveraging Biased Simulations Towards Unbiased Parameter Inference
Ezequiel Alvarez, Sean Benevedes, Manuel Szewc +1
In particle physics, as in many areas of science, parameter inference relies on simulations to bridge the gap between theory and experiment. Recent developments in simulation-based…

Isolating Unisolated Upsilons with Anomaly Detection in CMS Open Data
Rikab Gambhir, Radha Mastandrea, Benjamin Nachman +1
We present the first study of anti-isolated Upsilon decays to two muons () in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Using a machine learning (ML)-bas…

SPECTER: Efficient Evaluation of the Spectral EMD
Rikab Gambhir, Andrew J. Larkoski, Jesse Thaler
The Energy Mover's Distance (EMD) has seen use in collider physics as a metric between events and as a geometric method of defining infrared and collinear safe observables. Recentl…
