In this paper we study the use of Machine Learning techniques to exploit kinematic information in VH, the production of a Higgs in association with a massive vector boson. We parametrise the effect of new physics in terms of the SMEFT framework. We find that the use of a shallow neural network allows us to dramatically increase the sensitivity to deviations in VH respect to previous estimates. We also discuss the relation between the usual measures of performance in Machine Learning, such as AUC or accuracy, with the more adept measure of Asimov significance. This relation is particularly relevant when parametrising systematic uncertainties. Our results show the potential of incorporating Machine Learning techniques to the SMEFT studies using the current datasets.

  1. Exploring anomalous couplings in Higgs boson pair production through shape analysis

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Anomalous Higgs couplings change the shape of the di-Higgs mass distribution, and an unsupervised clustering algorithm captures those shape differences more finely than a hand-defined taxonomy.

  2. Benchmarking simplified template cross sections in $WH$ production

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For W H production, the proposed simplified template cross sections with six pT,W bins and three mT,tot bins recover more new-physics information than the current stage 1.1 binning, but still less than a full multivar...
