higgs-decay-classification
Study of the Higgs boson Yukawa coupling to tau leptons using the 2012 ATLAS Run-2 dataset. Particular focus is dedicated to the usage of machine learning classification algorithms to classify the Higgs decay channel H to tautau as signal with respect to the other background processes.
For the classification have been considered the cases in which there are 0,1 or 2 jets in the final state.
This classification has been performed on the free dataset from the Higgs Boson Challenge (dataset), that contains data related to the case in which we have in the final state a tau that decays hadronically and the other one that decays leptonically (data for same leptonic or hadronic decays of the tau are omitted).
Analysis scripts are located into the python folder, while Jupyter Notebooks examples are located into the jupyter folder. The purpose of this latter is to show interactively the various analysis passages.
