We present the first data release (DR1) of the Spectroscopic Classification of Astronomical Transients (SCAT) survey, covering the first $\approx 5$ years of observations (March 2018 - January 2023). DR1 includes 1810 spectra of 1330…

Resonant anomaly detection is a promising framework for model-independent searches for new particles. Weakly supervised resonant anomaly detection methods compare data with a potential signal against a template of the Standard Model (SM)…
