Description
Many theories propose adding a dark sector to the SM and copying how interactions are modeled based on normal QCD. Some of these theories lead to the creation of so-called ‘emerging jets’ where SM particles emerge into the ATLAS detector with displaced vertices. This would create a unique signal which can be searched for in ATLAS. A preliminary investigation into the possibilities of multivariate analysis methods through the use of Boosted Decision Trees (BDTs) was performed to evaluate the level of improvements to be gained over the current Run-2 emerging jets analysis.
