Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC) - Overview — •Saranya Samik Ghosh, Thomas Hebbeker, Arnd Meyer, and Lorenzo Vigilante — III. Physikalisches Institut A, RWTH Aachen, 52074 Aachen, Germany

The Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC) is a long-term project aiming to search for new physics beyond the standard model (BSM) by searching for significant deviations from the standard model (SM) expectation in LHC data. Kinematic distributions of the data are compared with the SM expectation in hundreds of different final states using an automated procedure with a minimum of additional assumptions, and in particular without optimization for specific models beyond the SM. In this presentation, the general method and its current implementation will be discussed, pointing out limitations and applications beyond the original scope, as well as methods used for validation and benchmarking.
