New Physics from High Energy Tops
Marco Farina, Cristina Mondino, Duccio Pappadopulo +1
Precision measurements of high energy top quarks at the LHC constitute a powerful probe of new physics. We study the effect of four fermion operators involving two tops and two lig…
Searching for New Physics with Deep Autoencoders
Marco Farina, Yuichiro Nakai, David Shih
We introduce a potentially powerful new method of searching for new physics at the LHC, using autoencoders and unsupervised deep learning. The key idea of the autoencoder is that i…
Catching a New Force by the Tail
Simone Alioli, Marco Farina, Duccio Pappadopulo +1
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is sensitive to new heavy gauge bosons that produce narrow peaks in the dilepton invariant mass spectrum up to about TeV. s that…
Precision Probes of QCD at High Energies
Simone Alioli, Marco Farina, Duccio Pappadopulo +1
New physics, that is too heavy to be produced directly, can leave measurable imprints on the tails of kinematic distributions at the LHC. We use energetic QCD processes to perform…
Constraining Quirky Tracks with Conventional Searches
Marco Farina, Matthew Low
Quirks are particles that are both charged under the standard model and under a new confining group. The quirk setup assumes there are no light flavors of the new confining group s…
The photo-philic QCD axion
Marco Farina, Duccio Pappadopulo, Fabrizio Rompineve +1
We propose a framework in which the QCD axion has an exponentially large coupling to photons, relying on the "clockwork" mechanism. We discuss the impact of present and future axio…
