Rare and Different: Anomaly Scores from a combination of likelihood and out-of-distribution models to detect new physics at the LHC
Sascha Caron, Luc Hendriks, Rob Verheyen
We propose a new method to define anomaly scores and apply this to particle physics collider events. Anomalies can be either rare, meaning that these events are a minority in the n…
A comparison of optimisation algorithms for high-dimensional particle and astrophysics applications
The DarkMachines High Dimensional Sampling Group, Csaba Balázs, Melissa van Beekveld +18
Optimisation problems are ubiquitous in particle and astrophysics, and involve locating the optimum of a complicated function of many parameters that may be computationally expensi…
Combining outlier analysis algorithms to identify new physics at the LHC
Melissa van Beekveld, Sascha Caron, Luc Hendriks +7
The lack of evidence for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider so far has prompted the development of model-independent search techniques. In this study, we compare the anomaly…
Les Houches 2019 Physics at TeV Colliders: New Physics Working Group Report
G. Brooijmans, A. Buckley, S. Caron +87
This report presents the activities of the `New Physics' working group for the `Physics at TeV Colliders' workshop (Les Houches, France, 10--28 June, 2019). These activities includ…
Event Generation and Statistical Sampling for Physics with Deep Generative Models and a Density Information Buffer
Sydney Otten, Sascha Caron, Wieske de Swart +6
We present a study for the generation of events from a physical process with deep generative models. The simulation of physical processes requires not only the production of physic…
Implications of the Fermi-LAT Pass 8 Galactic Center Excess on Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Abraham Achterberg, Melissa van Beekveld, Sascha Caron +3
The Fermi Collaboration has recently updated their analysis of gamma rays from the center of the Galaxy. They reconfirm the presence of an unexplained emission feature which is mos…
Comparing Galactic Center MSSM dark matter solutions to the Reticulum II gamma-ray data
Abraham Achterberg, Melissa van Beekveld, Wim Beenakker +2
Observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) indicate a possible small photon signal originating from the dwarf galaxy Reticulum II that exceeds the expected background b…
A description of the Galactic Center excess in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
Abraham Achterberg, Simone Amoroso, Sascha Caron +3
Observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) indicate an excess in gamma rays originating from the center of our Galaxy. A possible explanation for this excess is the ann…
