AD: the phoenix from the ashes

    • 16:00 → 16:05
      Reading an AD excess backwards: from a region of event space to physical hypotheses 5m

      - The inverse approach in a nutshell: pulled directions, EFT, mediators, correlated predictions, discriminating observables
      - What changes when the starting point is an unusual region of event space flagged by an AD algorithm rather than a measured observable
      - Ideas for making that translation systematic, e.g. using the benchmark pool to map the space of physically distinct signatures (with a possible link to the Heavy Resonances TF)
