In this work we assess the transferability of deep learning models to detect beyond the standard model signals. For this we trained deep neural networks on three different signal models: $tZ$ production via a flavor changing neutral current, pair production of vectorlike $T$-quarks via standard model gluon fusion and via a heavy gluon decay in a grid of three mass points: 1, 1.2 and 1.4 TeV. These networks were trained with $t\overline{t}$, $Z+\text{jets}$ and dibosons as the main backgrounds…

• 2021
The proposed strategy to search for new physics phenomena at colliders independently of the details of such new events, and the potential of semi-supervised anomaly detection techniques to extensively explore the present and future hadron colliders’ data are demonstrated.

### A Normalized Autoencoder for LHC Triggers

The normalized autoencoder combines a standard bottleneck architecture with a well-deﬁned probabilistic description and works better than all available autoencoders for top vs QCD jets and reliably identifies different dark-jet signals.

### Quantum Anomaly Detection for Collider Physics

An anomaly detection task in the four-lepton state at the Large Hadron Collider that is limited by a small dataset is studied and there is no evidence that QML provides any advantage over classical ML.

Decays of Higgs boson-like particles into multileptons is a well-motivated process for investigating physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). A unique feature of this final state is the precision with

### Creating simple, interpretable anomaly detectors for new physics in jet substructure

• Computer Science
Physical Review D
• 2022
This work proposes two strategies that use a small number of high-level observables to mimic the decisions made by the autoencoder on background events, one designed to directly learn the output of the authencoder, and the other designed to learn the diﬀerence between the aut Koencoder’s outputs on a pair of events.

### Challenges for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Particle Physics

• Computer Science
Journal of High Energy Physics
• 2022
It is found that the hyperparameter choices strongly affect the network performance and that the optimal parameters for one signal are non-optimal for another, which means that the choices that best represent the background are not necessarily best for signal identification.

### Deep Set Auto Encoders for Anomaly Detection in Particle Physics

A Deep Set Variational Autoencoder is introduced and it is found that the method attains the best anomaly detection ability when there is no decoding step for the network, and the anomaly score is based solely on the representation within the encoded latent space.
