This report summarizes the work of Energy Frontier New Physics working group 2013 Community Summer Study (Snowmass).
We consider the production at LHC of exotic quarks ${U}^{+}$ charge $Q=+(5/3)e$ and ${D}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ $Q=\ensuremath{-}(4/3)e$ mass ${m}_{*}$ arising in a composite fermion scenario characterized by compositeness scale $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$. Such states are predicted models higher isospin multiplets (${I}_{W}=1$ or ${I}_{W}=3/2$). Given their charges (such as $5/3$), decays proceed through electroweak interactions. compute decay widths rates for resonant LHC. Partly motivated...

We present the prospects for discovery or exclusion of heavy vector-like charge 2/3 quarks, T, in proton-proton collisions at two center-of-mass energies, 14 and 33 TeV LHC. In this note, pair production T quark its antiparticle, with decays to W boson a b (Wb), top Higgs (tH), Z (tZ) are investigated. $b\bar b$ $W^+W^-$ final states selected study.
We describe technologies which can be developed to produce large area, low cost pixelated tracking detec- tors. These utilize wafer-scale 3D electronics and sensor currently being in industry. This result fully active sensor/readout chip tiles assembled into area arrays with good yield minimal dead area. The ability connect though the bulk of device also provide better electrical performance lower mass.
The replacement of the existing endcap calorimeter in Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector for high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), scheduled 2027, will be a high granularity calorimeter. It provide detailed position, energy, and timing information on electromagnetic hadronic showers immense pileup HL-LHC. High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) use 120-, 200-, 300-μm-thick silicon (Si) pad sensors as main active material sustain 1 MeV neutron equivalent fluences up to about 1016 neq cm−2. In order...
We describe a novel application of the end-to-end deep learning technique to task discriminating top quark-initiated jets from those originating hadronization light quark or gluon.

To optimize classifier performance progressively add tracking detector, including pixel reconstructed hits impact parameters,...
The Standard Model of electroweak interactions has had great success in describing the observed data over last three decades. precision experimental measurements affords tests at quantum loop level beyond leading order. Despite this it is important to continue confronting with predictions as any deviation would signal new physics. As a fundamental parameter Model, mass W-boson, M_W, particular importance. Aside from being an test SM itself, measurement M_W can be used constrain Higgs boson,...
Three dimensional integrated circuit technologies offer the possibility of fabricating large area arrays sensors with complex electronics minimal dead area, which makes them ideally suited for applications at LHC upgraded detectors and other future detectors.

Machine learning algorithms are gaining ground in high energy physics for applications particle and event identification, analysis, detector reconstruction, simulation trigger. Currently, most data-analysis tasks at LHC experiments benefit from the use of machine learning. Incorporating these computational tools experimental framework presents new challenges. This paper reports on implementation end-to-end deep with CMS software scaling multiple GPUs. The technique combines low-level...
