Bard: Interpreting New Frontier Energy Collider Physics
نویسندگان
چکیده
No systematic procedure currently exists for inferring the underlying physics from discrepancies observed in high energy collider data. We present Bard, an algorithm designed to facilitate the process of model construction at the energy frontier. Top-down scans of model parameter space are discarded in favor of bottom-up diagrammatic explanations of particular discrepancies, an explanation space that can be exhaustively searched and conveniently tested with existing analysis tools.

Systematic Analysis of High Energy Collider Data
These proceedings outline steps toward a systematic analysis of frontier energy collider data: specifically, those data collected at Tevatron Runs I and II, LEP Run II, HERA Runs I and II, and the future LHC. Algorithms designed to understand the gross features of the data (Vista), to systematically and model-independently search for new physics at the electroweak scale (Sleuth), to automate te...
متن کاملMuon Colliders: New Prospects for Precision Physics and the High Energy Frontier
An overview is given of muon collider technology and of the current status of the muon collider research program. The exciting potential of muon colliders for both neutrino physics and collider physics studies is then described and illustrated using self-consistent collider parameter sets at 0.1 TeV to 100 TeV center-of-mass energies.
متن کاملFundamental Symmetries of the Early Universe and the Precision Frontier
The search for the next Standard Model of fundamental interactions is being carried out at two frontiers: the high energy frontier involving the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider, and the high precision frontier where the focus is largely on low energy experiments. I discuss the unique and powerful window on new physics provided by the precision frontier and its complementarity to the informat...
متن کاملSystematic Analysis of HEP Collider Data
Compelling arguments suggest the presence of new physics at energy scales that will be probed by frontier energy colliders over the next decade. Arguments for each of the many flavors of new physics that have been proposed seem much less compelling. The wide variety of experimental signatures by which new physics may manifest itself suggests the desirability of analyzing all high energy collide...
متن کاملMuon Collider Physics at Very High Energies
Muon colliders might greatly extend the energy frontier of collider physics. One can contemplate circular colliders with center-of-mass energies in excess of 10 TeV. Some physics issues that might be relevant at such a machine are discussed.
