Finding new physics without learning about it: anomaly detection as a tool for searches at colliders

Abstract In this paper we propose a new strategy, based on anomaly detection methods, to search for new physics phenomena at colliders independently of the details of such new events. For this purpose, machine learning techniques are trained using Standard Model events, with the corresponding output...
