The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

  • This requires defining the signal as the difference between the observed number of events and the one predicted in the SM for a reference value of the Higgs mass [ref] , since the contribution from the transverse scattering is not expected to change significantly in presence of new physics: $σ( V_LV_L signal) = σ(VV observed) - σ(SM)$.
