Measuring the anomalous quartic gauge couplings in the W+W− → W+W− process at muon collider using artificial neural networks

Abstract

The muon collider provides a unique opportunity to study the vector boson scattering processes and dimension-8 operators contributing to anomalous quartic gauge couplings (aQGCs). Because of the cleaner final state, it is easier to decode subprocess and certain operator couplings at a muon collider. We attempt to identify the anomalous WWWW coupling in the exclusive WW → WW scattering in this paper. Since one aQGC can be induced by multiple dimension-8 operators, the study of one coupling can help to confine different operators. Meanwhile, singling out the WW → WW process can help to study the unitarity bounds. The vector boson scattering process corresponding to the anomalous WWWW coupling is μ+μ− → $$ \nu \nu \overline{\nu}\overline{\nu } $$ νν ν ¯ ν ¯ ℓ+ℓ−, with four (anti-)neutrinos in the final state, which brings troubles in phenomenological studies. In this paper, the machine learning method is used to tackle this problem. We find that, the artificial neural network is helpful to extract the W+W− → W+W− contribution, and reconstruct the center of mass energy of the subprocess which is important in the study of the Standard Model effective field theory. The sensitivities and the expected constraints on the dimension-8 operators at the muon collider with $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 30 TeV are presented. We demonstrate that the artificial neural networks exhibit great potential in the phenomenological study of processes with multiple neutrinos in the final state.

Type Synthesis of a Novel 4‐Degrees‐of‐Freedom Parallel Bipedal Mechanism for Walking Robot

“…When the conditions s T s 0 ¼ 0 and s T s ¼ 1 are satisfied, Equation (18) degenerates to a zero-pitch unit twist.…”

“…Thus, the motion space requirements of the legged mechanism are low. [18][19][20] However, the parallel leg mechanism meets all the aforementioned requirements. [21,22] For example, BadriSproewitz et al [23] were inspired by birds to design a parallel elastic-legged mechanism for the robot BirdBot, which can precisely realize self-engagement and disengagement.…”

Study of the gluonic quartic gauge couplings at muon colliders

“…-, θ and f are zenith and azimuth angles of the one of the gluons in the final state, respectively, and ( ) d J q ll¢ are Wigner d-functions [77]. The partial wave unitarity bound is |T J | 2 [74] which is widely used in previous works [33,[35][36][37][38][39][78][79][80][81].…”

“…With the high energy and high luminosity, the muon collider not only possesses a stronger capability for probing NP compared to the LHC but also has the ability for more precise measures. As a result, high-energy muon colliders have gained much attention in the community [38][39][40][41][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]. The muon colliders are ideal places to study the dimension-8 operators, including those contributing to the gQGCs.…”

Tri-photon at muon collider: a new process to probe the anomalous quartic gauge couplings

“…The use of machine learning (ML) algorithms in HEP is recently developing rapidly [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. To further improve efficiency, event selection strategies based on anomaly detection (AD) ML algorithms are introduced to HEP community [60][61][62][63][64][65][66].…”
