A common problem in particle physics is the requirement to reproduce comparisons between data and theory when the theory is a (general purpose) Monte Carlo simulation and the data are measurements of final state observables in high energy…
The large and growing library of measurements from the Large Hadron Collider has significant power to constrain extensions of the Standard Model. We consider such constraints on a well-motivated model involving a gauged and…
A fundamental characteristic of hadron colliders is the abundant production of jets, which then are studied to learn about hard QCD, the proton structure, or nonperturbative effects. In the following the latest results and developments from…
In Maples et al. (2018) we introduced Robust Chauvenet Outlier Rejection, or RCR, a novel outlier rejection technique that evolves Chauvenet's Criterion by sequentially applying different measures of central tendency and empirically…
