Extending the search for new resonances with machine learning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new approach based on the classification without labels (CWoLa) method where the invariant mass is used to create two potentially mixed samples, one with little or no signal and one with a potential resonance.

Higgs pair production at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy at the LHC

TL;DR: In this article, a threshold resummation for Higgs pair production in the dominant gluon fusion channel to next-to-next-toleading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy was performed.

Search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos in multilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

Albert M. Sirunyan, +2294 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a search for the direct electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos in signatures with either two or more leptons (electrons or muons) of the same electric charge, or with three or more hadronically decaying tau-leptons.

Renormalization Group Scaling of Higgs Operators and \Gamma(h -> \gamma \gamma)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compute the renormalization of dimension six Higgs-gauge boson operators at tree-level and derive a relation between the S parameter and the \Gamma(h -> γ) and γ(h → Z ) decay rates.

PYTHIA 6.4 Physics and Manual

TL;DR: The Pythia program as mentioned in this paper can be used to generate high-energy-physics ''events'' (i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles).

The anti-$k_t$ jet clustering algorithm

TL;DR: The anti-k-t algorithm as mentioned in this paper behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those of a rigid boundary and the Milan factor is universal.

A Brief Introduction to PYTHIA 8.1

TL;DR: PYTHIA 8 represents a complete rewrite in C++, and does not yet in every respect replace the old code, but does contain some new physics aspects that should make it an attractive option especially for LHC physics studies.
