Kitchen Sink Anomaly Detection
Ranit Das, Marie Hein, Gregor Kasieczka +6
An enormous amount of R&D effort has resulted in many new resonant anomaly detection methods being proposed in recent years. However, the vast majority of previous R&D studies have…
How to pick the best anomaly detector?
Marie Hein, Gregor Kasieczka, Michael Krämer +3
Anomaly detection has the potential to discover new physics in unexplored regions of the data. However, choosing the best anomaly detector for a given data set in a model-agnostic…
Quirk SUEP
David Curtin, Sascha Dreyer, Max Fusté Costa +6
We propose searching for physics beyond the Standard Model in the low-transverse-momentum tracks accompanying hard-scatter events at the LHC. TeV-scale resonances connected to a da…
Intrinsic and soft gluons in Monte Carlo event generators
Louis Moureaux, Aleksandra Lelek, Francesco Hautmann +1
Experimental measurements of the transverse momentum of Drell-Yan lepton pairs are sensitive to non-perturbative physics associated with the intrinsic parton transverse momentum $k…
Elliptic anisotropy measurement of the f(980) hadron in proton-lead collisions and evidence for its quark-antiquark composition
CMS Collaboration
Despite the f(980) hadron having been discovered half a century ago, the question about its quark content has not been settled: it might be an ordinary quark-antiquark ($\mathr…
Weakly supervised anomaly detection with event-level variables
Liam Brennan, Tamas Almos Vami, Oz Amram +7
We introduce a new topology for weakly supervised anomaly detection searches, di-object plus~X. In this topology, one looks for a resonance decaying to two standard model particles…
