Learning how to learn about the Higgs boson
Dr. Nick Smith
Fermilab
In this talk, I will describe how the deployment of machine learning to the problem of jet classification unveiled a new phase space of hadronic Higgs boson decays for analysis in CMS, and review the insights gained into the behavior of the Higgs boson due to this advancement. I will then discuss how simulation-based inference techniques may extract even more information about beyond-Standard Model behavior in the Higgs sector.
