OPTIMASS: A Package for the Minimization of Kinematic Mass Functions with Constraints

1 code implementation3 Aug 2015 Won Sang Cho, James S. Gainer, Doojin Kim, Sung Hak Lim, Konstantin T. Matchev, Filip Moortgat, Luc Pape, Myeonghun Park

Reconstructed mass variables, such as $M_2$, $M_{2C}$, $M_T^\star$, and $M_{T2}^W$, play an essential role in searches for new physics at hadron colliders.

Beyond Geolocating: Constraining Higher Dimensional Operators in $H \to 4\ell$ with Off-Shell Production and More

no code implementations19 Mar 2014 James S. Gainer, Joseph Lykken, Konstantin T. Matchev, Stephen Mrenna, Myeonghun Park

We extend the study of Higgs boson couplings in the "golden" $gg\to H \to ZZ^\ast \to 4\ell$ channel in two important respects.

On-shell constrained $M_2$ variables with applications to mass measurements and topology disambiguation

1 code implementation7 Jan 2014 Won Sang Cho, James S. Gainer, Doojin Kim, Konstantin T. Matchev, Filip Moortgat, Luc Pape, Myeonghun Park

The tests are able to determine: 1) whether the decays in the event are two-body or three-body, 2) if the decay is two-body, whether the intermediate resonances in the two decay chains are the same, and 3) the exact sequence in which the visible particles are emitted from each decay chain.

Precision studies of the Higgs boson decay channel H -> ZZ -> 4l with MEKD

no code implementations2 Oct 2012 Paul Avery, Dimitri Bourilkov, Mingshui Chen, Tongguang Cheng, Alexey Drozdetskiy, James S. Gainer, Andrey Korytov, Konstantin T. Matchev, Predrag Milenovic, Guenakh Mitselmakher, Myeonghun Park, Aurelijus Rinkevicius, Matthew Snowball

The importance of the H -> ZZ -> 4l "golden" channel was shown by its major role in the discovery, by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, of a Higgs-like boson with mass near 125 GeV.
