TL;DR
This paper introduces a new, model-independent method for identifying four-top final states in high-energy collisions, effectively distinguishing potential new physics signals from background noise without relying on b-tagging or missing energy data.
Contribution
It presents a novel procedure to determine if new physics involves four-top production, improving signal-background separation in complex collider events.
Findings
The method successfully separates four-top signals from background events.
It operates independently of specific four-top production details.
The approach does not require b-tagging or missing energy information.
Abstract
Final states with four tops appear in various extensions of the Standard Model. Alas, top reconstruction faces combinatorial issues as they show up as large multiplicity events. In this paper, we present a new procedure to determine whether new physics is in fact due to a new source for tops. We establish the use of this procedure to separate the signal from background (primarily +jets). Our analysis is model independent, in that it does not use any details of the four top production (such as possible missing energy), and does not require b-tagging.
