Systematic Analysis of High Energy Collider Data
نویسنده
چکیده
These proceedings outline steps toward a systematic analysis of frontier energy collider data: specifically, those data collected at Tevatron Runs I and II, LEP Run II, HERA Runs I and II, and the future LHC. Algorithms designed to understand the gross features of the data (Vista), to systematically and model-independently search for new physics at the electroweak scale (Sleuth), to automate tests of specific hypotheses against those data (Quaero), to turn an existing full detector simulation into a fast simulation (TurboSim), and to infer the physics underlying any hint observed in the data (Bard) are reviewed. A somewhat non-conventional viewpoint is adopted throughout.

Systematic Analysis of HEP Collider Data
Compelling arguments suggest the presence of new physics at energy scales that will be probed by frontier energy colliders over the next decade. Arguments for each of the many flavors of new physics that have been proposed seem much less compelling. The wide variety of experimental signatures by which new physics may manifest itself suggests the desirability of analyzing all high energy collide...
متن کاملBard: Interpreting New Frontier Energy Collider Physics
No systematic procedure currently exists for inferring the underlying physics from discrepancies observed in high energy collider data. We present Bard, an algorithm designed to facilitate the process of model construction at the energy frontier. Top-down scans of model parameter space are discarded in favor of bottom-up diagrammatic explanations of particular discrepancies, an explanation spac...
متن کاملDetermination of the Jet Energy Scale at the Collider Detector at Fermilab
A precise determination of the energy scale of jets at the Collider Detector at Fermilab at the Tevatron pp̄ collider is described. Jets are used in many analyses to estimate the energies of partons resulting from the underlying physics process. Several correction factors are developed to estimate the original parton energy from the observed jet energy in the calorimeter. The jet energy response...
متن کاملA High Energy Nuclear Database Proposal
We propose to develop a high-energy heavy-ion experimental database and make it accessible to the scientific community through an on-line interface. This database will be searchable and cross-indexed with relevant publications, including published detector descriptions. Since this database will be a community resource, it requires the high-energy nuclear physics community’s financial and manpow...
