    In the absence of direct evidence for new physics in targeted searches, model-independent strategies are becoming increasingly important. In this talk, we present recent results of model-agnostic searches that are facilitated by advanced machine learning techniques, opening a new avenue for unbiased detection of potential new physics signals.

    Many theories beyond the Standard Model (SM) have been proposed to address several of the SM shortcomings. Some of these beyond-the-SM extensions predict new particles or interactions directly accessible at the LHC. These signatures range from relatively standard, to those needing special reconstruction algorithms or techniques. This talk will cover several such recent searches at ATLAS.

    Anomaly detection has emerged as a promising paradigm for BSM searches at the LHC, leveraging modern machine learning techniques to identify subtle deviations directly in data. In particular, out-of-distribution (OOD) approaches target signals that populate the tails of an anomaly score, offering sensitivity to a wide range of unforeseen signatures. A central challenge in such searches is the...

    The search for physics beyond the standard model is one of the main focuses in high-energy physics. Conventional searches at the LHC, though comprehensive, have not yet shown signs for new physics. Machine learning based anomaly detection has emerged offering a model-agnostic way to enhance the sensitivity of generic searches as compared to those targeting specific signal model. CATHODE...
