Combining Resonant and Tail-based Anomaly Detection

Understand

In many well-motivated models of the electroweak scale, cascade decays of new particles can result in highly boosted hadronic resonances (e.g.

• $Z/W/h$).
• This can make these models rich and promising targets for recently developed resonant anomaly detection methods powered by modern machine learning.
• We demonstrate this using the state-of-the-art CATHODE method applied to supersymmetry scenarios with gluino pair production.
