Accelerating new physics discoveries at the LHC with anomaly detection
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, located at CERN. It has been instrumental in numerous groundbreaking discoveries, including the Higgs boson. Despite these successes, vast portions of potential new physics remain unexplored due to the complexity and sheer volume of data generated by the LHC’s experiments. Traditional methods for analyzing these data often rely on pre-defined models, potentially overlooking novel phenomena that do not fit into existing theoretical frameworks. This talk presents innovative approaches to anomaly detection as a means to unearth new physics signatures from LHC data, accelerating the discovery of phenomena beyond the Standard Model.
