abstract

A search is presented for hadronic signatures of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, with an emphasis on signatures of a strongly-coupled hidden dark sector accessed via resonant production of a $Z'$ mediator. The ATLAS experiment dataset collected at the Large Hadron Collider from 2015 to 2018 is used, consisting of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$. The $Z'$ mediator is considered to decay to two dark quarks, which each hadronize and decay to showers containing both dark and Standard Model particles, producing a topology of interacting and non-interacting particles within a jet known as ``semi-visible". Machine learning methods are used to select these dark showers and reject the dominant background of mismeasured multijet events, including an anomaly detection approach to preserve broad sensitivity to a variety of BSM topologies. A resonance search is performed by fitting the transverse mass spectrum based on a functional form background estimation. No significant excess over the expected background is observed. Results are presented as limits on the production cross section of semi-visible jet signals, parameterized by the fraction of invisible particles in the decay and the $Z'$ mass, and by quantifying the significance of any generic Gaussian-shaped mass peak in the anomaly region.

  1. Search for resonant production of lepton-enriched semivisible jets in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A CMS search with 138 fb^-1 of 13 TeV data finds no lepton-enriched semivisible jet resonance and excludes Z' masses up to 4.7 TeV (SVJ l) and 1.8-3.5 TeV (SVJ tau) at 95% CL.

    hep-ex 2025-12 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Five ML anomaly-detection methods enhance model-agnostic dijet searches at CMS, and a weakly supervised tagger identifies hadronic top-quark decays in data nearly as well as a supervised classifier.

    Quantum and hybrid quantum-classical autoencoders for LHC trigger anomaly detection are quantized and synthesized onto a single FPGA SLR with claimed sub-microsecond-to-few-microsecond latency at stated parity with cl...

  4. Wasserstein normalized autoencoder for anomaly detection

    hep-ex 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Wasserstein-distance-trained normalized autoencoder detects semivisible jets in simulated LHC events with AUCs around 0.69–0.77, outperforming standard and normalized autoencoders on a ttbar background.

  5. Search for emerging jets in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment

    hep-ex 2025-10 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    No excess of emerging-jet events appears in ATLAS Run 2 data, excluding pair-produced dark scalar mediators up to about 2 TeV for 20 GeV dark pions with 20 mm decay length.
