Accelerating template generation in resonant anomaly detection searches with optimal transport
Matthew Leigh, Debajyoti Sengupta, Benjamin Nachman +1
We introduce Resonant Anomaly Detection with Optimal Transport (RAD-OT), a method for generating signal templates in resonant anomaly detection searches. RAD-OT leverages the fact…
Seeing Double: Calibrating Two Jets at Once
Rikab Gambhir, Benjamin Nachman
Jet energy calibration is an important aspect of many measurements and searches at the LHC. Currently, these calibrations are performed on a per-jet basis, i.e. agnostic to the pro…
Flows for Flows: Morphing one Dataset into another with Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Tobias Golling, Samuel Klein, Radha Mastandrea +2
Many components of data analysis in high energy physics and beyond require morphing one dataset into another. This is commonly solved via reweighting, but there are many advantages…
When, Where, and How to Open Data: A Personal Perspective
Benjamin Nachman
This is a personal perspective on data sharing in the context of public data releases suitable for generic analysis. These open data can be a powerful tool for expanding the scienc…
Morphing parton showers with event derivatives
Benjamin Nachman, Stefan Prestel
We develop EventMover, a differentiable parton shower event generator. This tool generates high- and variable-length scattering events that can be moved with simulation derivatives…
Sneaky light stop
Till Eifert, Benjamin Nachman
A light supersymmetric top quark partner (stop) with a mass nearly degenerate with that of the Standard Model (SM) top quark can evade direct searches. The precise measurement of S…
