Data-driven methods of background estimations are often used to obtain more reliable descriptions of backgrounds. In hadron collider experiments, data-driven techniques are used to estimate backgrounds due to multi-jet events, which are difficult to model accurately. In this article, we propose an improvement on one of the most widely used data-driven methods in the hadron collision environment, the "ABCD" method of extrapolation. We describe the mathematical background behind the data-driven methods and extend the idea to propose improved general methods.

  1. Search for soft unclustered energy patterns in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV using data scouting

    hep-ex 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No SUEP signal is observed in CMS scouting data; the search sets the most stringent limits to date on gluon-fusion production of heavy scalars decaying to SUEP-like final states.

  2. Search for the nonresonant and resonant production of a Higgs boson in association with an additional scalar boson in the $\gamma\gamma\tau\tau$ final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    CMS finds no evidence for Higgs-pair or new-scalar production in the two-photon plus two-tau final state and sets new upper limits on these processes.

  3. Machine learning method for enforcing variable independence in background estimation with LHC data: ABCDisCoTEC

    hep-ex 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The new nonclosure loss term, made differentiable with a sigmoid approximation, lets the neural network optimize the ABCD background estimate directly, improving closure and training stability.
