Improving the sensitivity of stop searches with on-shell constrained invariant mass variables
Won Sang Cho, James S. Gainer, Doojin Kim +4
The search for light stops is of paramount importance, both in general as a promising path to the discovery of beyond the standard model physics and more specifically as a way of e…
Towards a Supersymmetric Description of the Fermi Galactic Center Excess
Matthew Cahill-Rowley, Jamie Gainer, JoAnne Hewett +1
We attempt to build a model that describes the {\it Fermi} galactic gamma-ray excess (FGCE) within a UV-complete Supersymmetric framework; we find this to be highly non-trivial. At…
Model-Independent Searches Using Matrix Element Ranking
Dipsikha Debnath, James S. Gainer, Konstantin T. Matchev
Thus far the LHC experiments have yet to discover beyond-the-standard-model physics. This motivates efforts to search for new physics in model independent ways. In this spirit, we…
Discoveries far from the Lamppost with Matrix Elements and Ranking
Dipsikha Debnath, James S. Gainer, Konstantin T. Matchev
The prevalence of null results in searches for new physics at the LHC motivates the effort to make these searches as model-independent as possible. We describe procedures for adapt…
Exploring Theory Space with Monte Carlo Reweighting
James S. Gainer, Joseph Lykken, Konstantin T. Matchev +2
Theories of new physics often involve a large number of unknown parameters which need to be scanned. Additionally, a putative signal in a particular channel may be due to a variety…
Beyond Geolocating: Constraining Higher Dimensional Operators in with Off-Shell Production and More
James S. Gainer, Joseph Lykken, Konstantin T. Matchev +2
We extend the study of Higgs boson couplings in the "golden" channel in two important respects. First, we demonstrate the importance of off-shell Hi…
On-shell constrained variables with applications to mass measurements and topology disambiguation
Won Sang Cho, James S. Gainer, Doojin Kim +4
We consider a class of on-shell constrained mass variables that are 3+1 dimensional generalizations of the Cambridge variable and that automatically incorporate various as…
