Search for New Physics Using QUAERO: A General Interface to D0 Event Data
Аннотация
We describe QUAERO, a method that (i) enables the automatic optimization of searches for physics beyond the standard model, and (ii) provides a mechanism for making high energy collider data generally available. We apply QUAERO to searches for standard model $\mathrm{WW}$, $\mathrm{ZZ}$, and $t\overline{t}$ production, to searches for these objects produced through a new heavy resonance, and to the first direct search for ${W}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{WZ}$. Through this interface, we make three data sets collected by the D0 experiment at $\sqrt{s}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1.8\mathrm{TeV}$ publicly available.
