9. Reinterpretation material in CMS new physics searches

Andreas Albert (Rheinisch Westfaelische Tech. Hoch. (DE))

02/04/2019, 14:10

The CMS collaboration aims to provide high-quality analysis results to the particle physics community. The rich search program for beyond-the-standard-model phenomena in various topologies is an excellent basis for reinterpretation by external scientists. In this talk, I will discuss the steps taken by the collaboration in order to facilitate such reinterpretations.

20. Challenges and benefits of auxiliary material LHCb can provide

Patrick Haworth Owen (Universitaet Zuerich (CH))

In order to maximise the sensitivity to parameters of interest (e.g. Wilson Coefficients), theoretical uncertainties can be constrained using data itself. This builds in theoretical assumptions into measurements. Reinterpreting such measurements is a crucial component in order to prevent them from becoming obsolete with theoretical progress. In this talk, I will discuss the challenges and...

40. ATLAS Reinterpretation Efforts Update

Lukas Alexander Heinrich (CERN)

02/04/2019, 15:10

With the second data-taking run of the LHC concluded, the analysis of the full Run-2 dataset on currently in preparation are expected to be the leading measurements of final states sensitive to BSM phenomena for an increasingly extended period of time. Therefore infrastructure to aid both external and internal reinterpretation is gaining in importance. We will provide an update on the efforts...

19. CMS Open data - Status and future plans

Clemens Lange (CERN)

02/04/2019, 16:15

The CMS collaboration has made a large fraction of their collision data recorded in 2010-2012 and corresponding simulation data sets publicly available. These data have been used for physics analysis, teaching, and outreach by non-CMS members. In this presentation, we will review the current status and discuss our plans for making CMS data and analyses more accessible.

17. CP developments: MET significance, Boosted Object Tagging and Others

Christopher Young (CERN)

02/04/2019, 16:40

This talk will cover a variety of developments from the ATLAS experiment on the performance of the experiment. The definition of the significance of the missing transverse momentum will be discussed, the benefits to searches of using this definition, and how this quantity can be estimated in the re-interpretation of these searches. Identifying boosted hadronically decaying vector bosons, top...

13. LHC Constraints on a B − L Gauge Model using Contur

Mr Wei Liu (UCL)

02/04/2019, 17:05

The large and growing library of measurements from the Large Hadron Collider has significant power to constrain extensions of the Standard Model. We consider such constraints on a well-motivated model involving a gauged and spontaneously-broken B − L symmetry, within the Contur framework. The model contains an extra Higgs boson, a gauge boson, and right-handed neutrinos with Majorana masses....

38. HEPData overview

Graeme Watt (IPPP Durham)

02/04/2019, 17:30

HEPData is a unique open-access repository for high-level data from experimental particle physics papers, typically the numbers behind the plots or tables that appear in publications. It is the primary repository for publication-related data from the LHC experiments. The HEPData software
was completely rewritten in 2015-16, in collaboration with CERN, and the
data was migrated to a new...
