The General Search for New Phenomena


  • The General Search for new Phenomena at HERA , (from SPIRES) NEW! Paper out!

    The idea of this work is a systematic and model-independent search for signals of new physics in all final state topologies. The analysis includes -- for the first time at a collider experiment -- all final states configurations available. All selected events with high transverse momentum are classified according to their number of jets, muons, electron, photons (and non-interacting particles) in exclusive event classes, e.g. photon-electron, jet-jet or jet-jet-electron. Kinematic quantities sensitive to new physics such as the invariant mass and the sum of transverse momentum are finally searched for deviations with a novel search algorithm. If you are interested in the results of this search have a look at the weblink.
