New ORCA framework enhances interpretable anomaly detection for collider physics

Researchers have developed a new framework called ORCA for anomaly detection in collider physics experiments, specifically designed for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. This two-stage approach uses supervised contrastive learning to create an interpretable embedding space, which then feeds into an autoencoder for anomaly scoring. ORCA aims to overcome the limitations of existing methods by providing more sensitive detection of new physics signals and enabling the interpretation of anomaly scores by attributing events to known physics processes.

    Contrastive Learning for Interpretable Anomaly Detection at Collider Experiments

    arXiv:2608.13652v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generic event-level anomaly detection for collider physics has two recurring problems: anomaly scores are hard to interpret, and they correlate strongly with energy scale and object multiplicity. We present Organized Representation …
