Characterising double-Higgs production has been a major part of the LHC physics program in Run 2 and beyond. We discuss new techniques and results in boosted, hadronic final states in CMS, with a focus on wide-radius jet taggers and data-driven multi-jet background estimation, as well as measurements of gluon-gluon- and vector-boson-fusion HH production in the 4 beauty quark final state in...
Accurate and precise calorimeter modeling presents one of the most significant computational bottlenecks in modern high-energy physics simulation chains. For this reason, extensive work has been done to speed up calorimeter simulation and make it more computationally efficient. A highly promising method for achieving this speed-up is generative machine learning (ML) models. However, most...
The BEST Searches for Vector Like Quarks at CMS
Abstract: The Boosted Event Shape Tagger is a multi-class jet tagger optimized for the diverse final states inherent to all-hadronic decays of Vector-Like Quarks. Its architecture is a simple DNN whose discriminating power benefits from physics-driven observables calculated in the lab frame, but also in a series of Lorentz-boosted frames...
State-of-the-art (SoTA) deep learning models have achieved tremendous improvements in jet classification performance while analyzing low-level inputs, but their decision-making processes have become increasingly opaque. We propose an analysis model (AM) that amalgamates several phenomenologically inspired neural networks to address this interpretability issue without compromising...
The LHC has unlocked a previously unexplored energy regime. Dedicated techniques have been developed to reconstruct and identify boosted top quarks. Measurements in boosted top quark production test the Standard Model in a region with a strongly enhanced sensitivity to high-scale new phenomena. In this contribution, several new measurements of the ATLAS experiment are presented of the...
Identifying boosted hadronic decays of W/Z bosons is central to many LHC physics analyses. This poster presents the performance of constituent-based W/Z boson taggers using large-radius boosted jets reconstructed from Unified Flow Objects (UFOs) in simulated collisions at sqrt(s)=13 TeV. Several taggers which consider all the information contained in the kinematics of the jet constituents are...
