Exploring Contur beyond its default mode: a case study
M. M. Altakach, J. M. Butterworth, T. Ježo +2
We discuss Contur's different modes by studying a leptophobic Top-Colour (TC) model. We use, for the first time, higher order calculations for both the signal (NLO) and the backgro…
The PDF4LHC21 combination of global PDF fits for the LHC Run III
Richard D. Ball, Jon Butterworth, Amanda M. Cooper-Sarkar +19
A precise knowledge of the quark and gluon structure of the proton, encoded by the parton distribution functions (PDFs), is of paramount importance for the interpretation of high-e…
Data and Analysis Preservation, Recasting, and Reinterpretation
Stephen Bailey, Christian Bierlich, Andy Buckley +15
We make the case for the systematic, reliable preservation of event-wise data, derived data products, and executable analysis code. This preservation enables the analyses' long-ter…
A standard convention for particle-level Monte Carlo event-variation weights
Enrico Bothmann, Andy Buckley, Christian Gütschow +21
Streams of event weights in particle-level Monte Carlo event generators are a convenient and immensely CPU-efficient approach to express systematic uncertainties in phenomenology c…
Picking the low-hanging fruit: testing new physics at scale with active learning
Juan Rocamonde, Louie Corpe, Gustavs Zilgalvis +2
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, testing the many possible extensions to the Standard Model has become a key challenge in particle physics. This paper discusses a new method…
