Anomaly detection is a promising, model-agnostic strategy to find physics beyond the Standard Model. State-of-the-art machine learning methods offer impressive performance on anomaly detection tasks, but interpretability, resource, and memory concerns motivate considering a wide range of alternatives. We explore using the 2-Wasserstein distance from optimal transport theory, both as an anomaly score and as input to interpretable machine learning methods, for event-level anomaly detection at the Large Hadron Collider. The choice of ground space plays a key role in optimizing performance. We comment on the feasibility of implementing these methods in the L1 trigger system.

    Spectral functions from two-point correlations serve as multiplicity-independent ML inputs and improve expected gluino mass reach by 150-250 GeV in a fully hadronic ttbar vs gluino benchmark.

  3. Optimal Transport Event Representation for Anomaly Detection

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Adding a few optimal-transport-based features to standard jet observables nearly doubles anomaly-detection significance at 0.5% signal injection on LHC Olympics benchmarks.
