Pushing the frontiers in Higgs Physics using Artificial Intelligence - Loukas Gouskos (Brown)

48/2-224 - Madrone (SLAC)

The discovery of a Higgs boson at the LHC has opened a whole new chapter of exploration in particle physics. One of the highest priorities of the current LHC physics program is the detailed study of the properties of this particle, from its mass and spin to its all-important couplings to other particles. The measurements of these couplings provide a crucial test of the mechanism for the mass generation of the fundamental fermions, while the measurement of the Higgs self coupling would provide unique information on the shape of the Higgs potential and eventually the electroweak phase transition in the early universe. The talk will present the latest results from the CMS collaboration towards the measurement of the coupling of the Higgs boson to charm quarks and also to its interaction with itself. These measurements have necessitated the development of novel object reconstruction and identification tools as well as analysis techniques with extensive use of advanced Aritficial Intelligence techniques. These techniques have resulted in the most stringent constraints on these couplings to date, and have significant potential for delivering a direct measurement at the future High-Luminosity LHC.
