Vista, results of a model-independent search for new physics in 927 pb^-1 at CDF
CDF Collaboration: Georgios Choudalakis
TL;DR
This paper presents a model-independent search for high-energy exotic phenomena using CDF II data, employing Vista and Sleuth algorithms to identify potential new physics signals without relying on specific models.
Contribution
It introduces and applies Vista and Sleuth algorithms for a comprehensive, model-independent search for new physics in collider data, providing a novel approach in the field.
Findings
No significant evidence of new physics was observed.
The Vista algorithm effectively characterized known physics backgrounds.
The analysis sets constraints on possible exotic phenomena.
Abstract
A global, model-independent search for high-pT exotic phenomena is presented using 927 pb^-1 of CDF II data. The search algorithms employed in this analysis are Vista and Sleuth. These proceedings focus on Vista, including a description of the method and a summary of results.
