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 facilitat
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
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 t
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
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 approx
