United States Muon Collider Community White Paper for the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update Open
This document is being submitted to the 2024-2026 European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU) process on behalf of the US Muon Collider community, with its preparation coordinated by the interim US Muon Collider Coordination Grou…

Automatic Monitoring of Large-Scale Computing Infrastructure Open
Modern distributed computing systems produce large amounts of monitoring data. For these systems to operate smoothly, underperforming or failing components must be identified quickly, and preferably automatically, enabling the system manag…

Using Machine Learning for Precision Measurements Open
The use of machine learning techniques for classification is well established. They are applied widely to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the sensitivity of searches for new physics at colliders. In this study I explore the use of ma…

Machine Learning Techniques in the CMS Search for Higgs Decays to Dimuons Open
With the accumulation of large collision datasets at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, the LHC experiments can search for rare processes, where the extraction of signal events from the copious Standard Model backgrounds poses an enormous …

Exploring the LHC Landscape with Dileptons Open
The dilepton decay channels provide clean signatures and are an ideal hunting ground for high mass resonant, like Z', or non-resonant, like contact interactions or extra dimensions, searches at the LHC. The production of high invariant mas…

Photon-induced Background for Dilepton Searches and Measurements in pp Collisions at 13 TeV Open
The production of high invariant mass opposite sign lepton pairs in proton-proton collisions at the LHC is dominated by the Drell-Yan process. In addition to this photon or Z exchange mediated mechanism, gamma-gamma collisions, where photo…
