Scale-invariant resonance tagging in multijet events and new physics in Higgs pair production

Gouzevitch, Maxime, Oliveira, Alexandra, Rojo, Juan et al.

Understand

We study resonant pair production of heavy particles in fully hadronic final states by means of jet substructure techniques.

  • We propose a new resonance tagging strategy that smoothly interpolates between the highly boosted and fully resolved regimes, leading to uniform signal efficiencies and background rejection rates across a broad range of masses.
  • Our method makes it possible to efficiently replace independent experimental searches, based on different final state topologies, with a single common analysis.
  • As a case study, we apply our technique to pair production of Higgs bosons decaying into $b\bar{b}$ pairs in generic New Physics scenarios.
