The prevalence of null results in searches for new physics at the LHC motivates the effort to make these searches as model-independent as possible. We describe procedures for adapting the Matrix Element Method for situations where the signal hypothesis is not known a priori. We also present general and intuitive approaches for performing analyses and presenting results, which involve the flattening of background distributions using likelihood information. The first flattening method involves ranking events by background matrix element, the second involves quantile binning with respect to likelihood (and other) variables, and the third method involves reweighting histograms by the inverse of the background distribution.

The anticipated experimental resolution and data cache of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will enable precision investigations of polarization in multiboson processes. This includes, for the first time, vector boson scattering. To facilitate such studies, we report the automation of polarized matrix element computations in the publicly available Monte Carlo tool suite, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. This enables scattering and decay simulations involving helicity-polarized asymptotic or intermediate states, preserving both spin-correlation and off-shell effects. As demonstrations of the method, we investigate the leading order production and decay of polarized weak gauge bosons in the process $pp to j j W^+_lambda W^-_{lambda}$, with helicity eigenstates $(lambda,lambda)$ defined in various reference frames. We consider the Standard Model at both $mathcal{O}(alpha^4)$ and $mathcal{O}(alpha^2 alpha_s^2)$ as well as a benchmark composite Higgs scenario. We report good agreement with polarization studies based on the On-Shell Projection (OSP) technique. Future capabilities are discussed.
We perform for the first time a direct calculation of on-shell $Ktopipi$ hadronic matrix elements of chromomagnetic operators (CMO) in the Standard Model and beyond. To his end, we use the successful Dual QCD (DQCD) approach in which we also consider off-shell $K-pi$ matrix elements that allows the comparison with lattice QCD calculations of these matrix elements presented recently by the ETM collaboration. Working in the SU(3) chiral limit, we find for the single $B$ parameter $B_{rm CMO}=0.33$. Using the numerical results provided by the ETM collaboration we argue that only small corrections beyond that limit are to be expected. Our results are relevant for new physics scenarios in the context of the emerging $epsilon^prime/epsilon$ anomaly strongly indicated within DQCD and supported by RBC-UKQCD lattice collaboration.
Thus far the LHC experiments have yet to discover beyond-the-standard-model physics. This motivates efforts to search for new physics in model independent ways. In this spirit, we describe procedures for using a variant of the Matrix Element Method to search for new physics without regard to a specific signal hypothesis. To make the resulting variables more intuitive, we also describe how these variables can be flattened, which makes the resulting distributions more visually meaningful.
The heavy quark effects in deep--inelastic scattering in the asymptotic regime $Q^2 gg m^2$ can be described by heavy flavor operator matrix elements. Complete analytic expressions for these objects are currently known to ${sf NLO}$. We present first results for fixed moments at ${sf NNLO}$. This involves a recalculation of fixed moments of the corresponding ${sf NNLO}$ anomalous dimensions, which we thereby confirm.
We present a model-independent calculation of hadron matrix elements for all dimension-six operators associated with baryon number violating processes using lattice QCD. The calculation is performed with the Wilson quark action in the quenched approximation at $beta=6/g^2=6.0$ on a $28^2times 48times 80$ lattice. Our results cover all the matrix elements required to estimate the partial lifetimes of (proton,neutron)$to$($pi,K,eta$) +(${bar u},e^+,mu^+$) decay modes. We point out the necessity of disentangling two form factors that contribute to the matrix element; previous calculations did not make the separation, which led to an underestimate of the physical matrix elements. With a correct separation, we find that the matrix elements have values 3-5 times larger than the smallest estimates employed in phenomenological analyses of the nucleon decays, which could give strong constraints on several GUT models. We also find that the values of the matrix elements are comparable with the tree-level predictions of chiral lagrangian.
