Reweighting Monte Carlo Predictions and Automated Fragmentation Variations in Pythia 8
Christan Bierlich, Philip Ilten, Tony Menzo +5
This work reports on a method for uncertainty estimation in simulated collider-event predictions. The method is based on a Monte Carlo-veto algorithm, and extends previous work on…
Earth mover's distance as a measure of CP violation
Adam Davis, Tony Menzo, Ahmed Youssef +1
We introduce a new unbinned two sample test statistic sensitive to CP violation utilizing the optimal transport plan associated with the Wasserstein (earth mover's) distance. The e…
Electroweak Corrections to the Charm-Top-Quark Contribution to
Joachim Brod, Sandra Kvedaraite, Zachary Polonsky +1
We calculate the leading-logarithmic and next-to-leading-logarithmic electroweak corrections to the charm-top-quark contribution to the effective Lagrangian, relevant fo…
Modeling hadronization using machine learning
Phil Ilten, Tony Menzo, Ahmed Youssef +1
We present the first steps in the development of a new class of hadronization models utilizing machine learning techniques. We successfully implement, validate, and train a conditi…
Universal statistics of selected values
Matteo Smerlak, Ahmed Youssef
Selection, the tendency of some traits to become more frequent than others in a population under the influence of some (natural or artificial) agency, is a key component of Darwini…
Limiting fitness distributions in evolutionary dynamics
Matteo Smerlak, Ahmed Youssef
Darwinian evolution can be modeled in general terms as a flow in the space of fitness (i.e. reproductive rate) distributions. In the diffusion approximation, Tsimring et al. have s…
