Expérimental Description
The goal of the project is to study the effect of EFT operators in diboson processes involving W and Z bosons and photons. The student will generate signal events using a Monte Carlo event generator, use reweighting techniques in order to model the EFT effects, and then perform sensitivity studies to identify new observables for CMS data analysis. As a further step, the separation of the EFT signal from the SM backgrounds will be optimized. For this, novel machine learning techniques can be developed, and compared to traditional approaches.
