Searching in CMS open data for dimuon resonances with substantial transverse momentum

We report on the status of efforts to improve the reinterpretation of searches and measurements at the LHC in terms of models for new physics, in the context of the LHC Reinterpretation Forum. We detail current experimental offerings in direct searches for new particles, measurements, technical implementations and Open Data, and provide a set of recommendations for further improving the presentation of LHC results in order to better enable reinterpretation in the future. We also provide a brief description of existing software reinterpretation frameworks and recent global analyses of new physics that make use of the current data.

“…As demonstrated in Ref. [83], which uses CMS Open Data, open collider data has the potential to assist the BSM search programme at the LHC. First, Open Data can be used to study questions that are outside the mainstream search programme, and thus explore new territory.…”

“…Advanced users have made use of the data and tools for research purposes. This research includes searches for new particles [20,21], jet and QCD studies [22,23], and machine learning studies [24,25,26]. Furtherfore, and very usefully, some of the research users have provided valuable and detailed feedback and perspectives [27,28] on the challenges one faces when embarking on research with CMS open data.…”

The CMS Experiment at the LHC has released many large datasets of proton-proton collision data as well as simulation to the public as part of its commitment to data preservation and open access. The collision data released totals around 2 fb −1 at 7 TeV and nearly 12 fb −1 at 8 TeV. Data preservation describes the efforts to not only preserve the data itself but the conditions in which it can be analyzed. This requires archiving and documenting information such as run environment and conditions and tools such as analysis software and workflows. Open access describes the efforts to share these tools and information with the public, including educators and researchers. These efforts present many challenges, partly due to the complexity and size of the CMS datasets and also to the knowledge required to make meaningful use of them. We describe here how we dealt with these challenges and the usage of CMS open data not only in public education and engagement but also in fundamental research. Furthermore we describe plans for future releases of data.

“…The CMS Open Data project (http://opendata. cern.ch/), now exceeding a petabyte of real and simulated collisions, has spawned several exploratory studies [1][2][3][4] , including our recent search for new particles 5 . Why 'unprecedented'?…”
