Abstract: | A search is presented for a heavy resonance ๐ decaying into a Standard Model Higgs boson ๐ป and a new particle ๐ in a fully hadronic final state. The full Large Hadron Collider run 2 dataset of proton-proton collisions at โ๐ =13โโTeV collected by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018 is used and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139โโfbโ1. The search targets the high ๐-mass region, where the ๐ป and ๐ have a significant Lorentz boost in the laboratory frame. A novel application of anomaly detection is used to define a general signal region, where events are selected solely because of their incompatibility with a learned background-only model. It is constructed using a jet-level tagger for signal-model-independent selection of the boosted ๐ particle, representing the first application of fully unsupervised machine learning to an ATLAS analysis. Two additional signal regions are implemented to target a benchmark ๐ decay into two quarks, covering topologies where the ๐ is reconstructed as either a single large-radius jet or two small-radius jets. The analysis selects Higgs boson decays into ๐โขยฏ๐, and a dedicated neural-network-based tagger provides sensitivity to the boosted heavy-flavor topology. No significant excess of data over the expected background is observed, and the results are presented as upper limits on the production cross section ๐(๐โข๐โ๐โ๐โข๐ปโ๐โข๐โข๐๐) for signals with ๐๐ between 1.5 and 6 TeV and ๐๐ between 65 and 3000 GeV. |
