Using Spin to Distinguish Models at the LHC

Jennie Smillie
(Cambridge)
Abstract
 

If new particles are produced at the LHC, it is vital that we can extract as much information as possible from them about the underlying theory.  I will discuss some recent work on extracting spin information from invariant mass distributions of new particles.  I will then introduce the Kullback-Leibler method of quantifying our ability to distinguish different scenarios.
