Title: Identify the quantum numbers of boosted dijet resonances at the LHC 
Speaker: Dr. Kirtimaan A. Mohan (Michigan State University )

Place: R319, Theoretical Physics Division 

Abstract: We show that Jet Energy Correlation variables can be used effectively to discover and distinguish a wide variety of boosted light dijet Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) resonances at the LHC through sensitivity to their transverse momentum and color structures. Additionally we also apply deep learning strategies and show that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are also a useful for tagging color quantum numbers.
