Model-Independent Searches for New Physics in Multi-Body Invariant Masses

Model-independent searches for physics beyond the Standard Model typically focus on invariant masses of two objects (jets, leptons or photons). In this study, we explore opportunities for similar model-agnostic searches in multi-body invariant masses. In particular, we focus on the situations in whi...

Description
Summary:Model-independent searches for physics beyond the Standard Model typically focus on invariant masses of two objects (jets, leptons or photons). In this study, we explore opportunities for similar model-agnostic searches in multi-body invariant masses. In particular, we focus on the situations in which new physics can be observed in a model-independent way in three and four-body invariant masses of jets and leptons. Such searches may have good prospects in finding new physics in the situations when two-body invariant masses, which have been extensively explored at collider experiments in the past, cannot provide sufficient signatures for experimental observations.
