Anomaly Detection for Resonant New Physics with Machine Learning [PDF]
Despite extensive theoretical motivation for physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) of particle physics, searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have found no significant evidence for BSM physics.

Adversarially-trained autoencoders for robust unsupervised new physics searches [PDF]
Machine learning techniques in particle physics are most powerful when they are trained directly on data, to avoid sensitivity to theoretical uncertainties or an underlying bias on the expected signal.

Machine-Learning Compression for Particle Physics Discoveries [PDF]
In collider-based particle and nuclear physics experiments, data are produced at such extreme rates that only a subset can be recorded for later analysis.

Partial-wave projection of the one-particle exchange in three-body scattering amplitudes [PDF]
As the study of three-hadron physics from lattice QCD matures, it is necessary to develop proper analysis tools in order to reliably study a variety of phenomena, including resonance spectroscopy and nuclear structure.

Theoretical tools for neutrino scattering: interplay between lattice QCD, EFTs, nuclear physics, phenomenology, and neutrino event generators [PDF]
Maximizing the discovery potential of increasingly precise neutrino experiments will require an improved theoretical understanding of neutrino-nucleus cross sections over a wide range of energies.

Twisted particle collisions: A new tool for spin physics [PDF]
Collisions of twisted particles --- that is, non-plane-wave states of photons, electrons, or any other particle, equipped with a non-zero orbital angular momentum (OAM) with respect to its propagation direction --- offer novel ways to probe particle ...

Interpretation of LHC excesses in ditop and ditau channels as a 400-GeV pseudoscalar resonance [PDF]
Since the discovery in 2012 of the Higgs boson at the LHC, as the last missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics, any hint of new physics has been intensively searched for, with no confirmation to date.

Anomalous resonance between low-energy particles and electromagnetic plasma waves
Cyclotron resonance between plasma waves and charged particles is a fundamental and ubiquitous process in the plasma universe, during which the particle’s gyromotion has a constant phase in the wave field to enable a sustained energy exchange.
