Automatic Differentiation (AD) allows to determine exactly the Taylor series of any function truncated at any order. Here we propose to use AD techniques for data analysis. We will see that AD techniques allows for easy and exact error propagation in arbitrary quantities, even those defined via iterative algorithms. The case of special interest where AD techniques are used to estimate the...
Testing neutrino mass models is a leading component of the LHC's new physics program, as well as for proposed successor experiments such as the ILC, CepC/CppC, and FCC. This challenge requires the engineering of new search strategies, employing novel production mechanisms, and ultimately the development of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation software that feed into modern tool chains. This includes,...
I will present on two projects.
The first is a tool we have developed called $\texttt{SingularPhasespace}$. It is a phase space generator designed to explore how a given NLO simulation behaves in the singular limits of QCD.
The second is our recent restructuring of how $\texttt{MadGraph_aMC@NLO}$ evaluates matrix elements. This restructuring greatly reduces the number of times madevent...
I will discuss my recent work on formulating a Feynrules package for the SMEFT in the background field method. This allows for the use of automated tools like Feynarts and Formcalc to rapidly perform one loop calculations in the SMEFT. I will briefly touch on the application of these rules to the confirmation of the one loop SMEFT Ward Identities, and close by mentioning the long term goal of...
The Standard Model as an effective field theory (SMEFT) is a useful framework for parametrising decoupled new physics and characterising its collider phenomenology. I will present recently developed tools that can be used for fitting and one-loop matching to BSM models in the SMEFT.
