Determination of the top-quark mass from top-quark pair events with the matrix element method at next-to-leading order: Potential and prospects
Till Martini, Turan Nuraliyev, Peter Uwer
In 2004 the matrix element method was used in a pioneering work by the Tevatron experiment D0 to determine the top-quark mass from a handful of events. Since then the method has be…
Two Invertible Networks for the Matrix Element Method
Anja Butter, Theo Heimel, Till Martini +2
The matrix element method is widely considered the ultimate LHC inference tool for small event numbers. We show how a combination of two conditional generative neural networks enco…
Machine Learning and LHC Event Generation
Anja Butter, Tilman Plehn, Steffen Schumann +48
First-principle simulations are at the heart of the high-energy physics research program. They link the vast data output of multi-purpose detectors with fundamental theory predicti…
Probing the CP structure of the top quark Yukawa coupling: Loop sensitivity vs. on-shell sensitivity
Till Martini, Ren-Qi Pan, Markus Schulze +1
The question whether the Higgs boson is connected to additional CP violation is one of the driving forces behind precision studies at the Large Hadron Collider. In this work, we in…
The Matrix Element Method as a tool for precision and accuracy
Till Martini, Manfred Kraus, Sascha Peitzsch +1
The Matrix Element Method is a promising multi-variate analysis tool which offers an optimal approach to compare theory and experiment according to the Neyman-Pearson lemma. Howeve…
Electroweak Loops as a Probe of New Physics in Production at the LHC
Till Martini, Markus Schulze
We calculate the weak corrections to top quark pair production at the LHC and include anomalous electroweak interactions from dimension-six operators. The loop cal…
Exploring BSM Higgs couplings in single top-quark production
Manfred Kraus, Till Martini, Sascha Peitzsch +1
In this article we study a Standard Model extension modifying the top-quark Yukawa coupling to the Higgs boson by allowing a mixture of CP-odd and -even couplings. Single top-quark…
Matrix Element Method at NLO for (anti-)-jet algorithms
Manfred Kraus, Till Martini, Peter Uwer
In this article, we present a method to calculate a posteriori event weights at next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD accuracy for a given jet event defined by the (anti-) algorithm…
The Matrix Element Method at next-to-leading order QCD using the example of single top-quark production at the LHC
Till Martini
Analyses in high energy physics aim to put the Standard Model---the commonly accepted theory---to test. For convincing conclusions, analysis methods are needed which offer an unamb…
The Matrix Element Method at next-to-leading order QCD for hadronic collisions: Single top-quark production at the LHC as an example application
Till Martini, Peter Uwer
In a recent work the authors have presented a general algorithm to extend the Matrix Element Method (MEM) to the hadronic production of coloured partons taking into account next-to…
Single top-quark production with the Matrix Element Method in next-to-leading order accuracy
Till Martini, Peter Uwer
Single top-quark production offers a unique laboratory for precision tests of the Standard Model and searches of possible extensions. Furthermore, assuming the Standard Model, sing…
The Matrix Element Method at next-to-leading order accuracy
Till Martini, Peter Uwer
The Matrix Element Method (MEM) has proven beneficial to make maximal use of the information available in experimental data. However, so far it has mostly been used in Born approxi…
Extending the Matrix Element Method beyond the Born approximation: Calculating event weights at next-to-leading order accuracy
