Searches for new physics in collision events using a statistical technique for anomaly detection

Journal Article · · SciPost Physics Proceedings

This paper discusses a statistical anomaly-detection method for model-independent searches for new physics in collision events produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The method requires calculations of Z-scores for a large number of Lorenz-invariant variables to identify events that deviate from those expected for the Standard Model (SM).
