The unitarization of the longitudinal vector boson scattering (VBS) cross section by the Higgs boson is a fundamental prediction of the Standard Model which has not been experimentally verified. One of the most promising ways to measure VBS uses events containing two leptonically-decaying same-electric-charge $W$ bosons produced in association with two jets. However, the angular distributions of the leptons in the $W$ boson rest frame, which are commonly used to fit polarization fractions, are…

Sensitivity to longitudinal vector boson scattering in semileptonic final states at the HL-LHC

Longitudinal vector boson scattering provides an important probe of electroweak symmetry breaking, bringing sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model as well as constraining properties of the…

Detecting anomaly in vector boson scattering

A neural network is proposed which compress the features of the vector boson scattering into three dimensional latent space and is capable of distinguish different polarization modes of $WWjj$ production in both dileptonic channel and semi-leptonic channels.

Deep-Learning in Search of Light Charged Higgs

This work construct Deep Neural Networks with appropriate architecture and determine signal extraction efficiency by considering various features (kinematical and human engineered parameters), showing that DNN gives better performance than the classical neural networks and has ability to find regions of high efficiency even the input features are not human-engineered.

Identifying the nature of the QCD transition in relativistic collision of heavy nuclei with deep learning

High-level features of pion spectra captured by a carefully-trained neural network were found to be able to distinguish the nature of the QCD transition even in a simulation scenario which is close to the experiments.
