Model independent search for new physics — •Saranya Samik Ghosh — Physik Institut III. A., RWTH Aachen University, Germany

Several experimental searches dedicated to searching for new physics beyond the standard model (BSM) have been performed in dedicated experiments as well as general collider experiments such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These searches are typically developed around specific BSM predictions, with the investigated final states and kinematic selections being chosen and optimised to have sensitivity to a particular model or a few limited models. These search strategies are limited due to constraints on experimental resources and personpower. The limitations on dedicated search analyses, the sizeable number and variety of proposed BSM physics models, and the large datasets collected by several experiments, in particular by collider experiments including those at the LHC, highlight the importance of developing generalised model independent approaches to search for new physics in the large datasets available for analysis. Furthermore, such model independent searches are potentially sensitive to unforeseen physics phenomena that have not been included in any of the currently theorised models and hence likely to be overlooked by model driven search strategies. This talk will discuss the recent approaches and accomplishments of model independent searches for new physics in collider experiments.
