Cuts and Limits for HZZ4l Dark Matter Search

Contribution is divided into 4 main sections:

  1. VBF analysis using a Bayesian Neural Network to seperate VBF events from other Higgs events, and calculate the best cut to seperate these events
  2. Kinematic plot stacks for the monoHiggs analysis (included in the repo is the plotting program as well as the most recent plots produced using miniA0D trees)
  3. Limit plots and data for Z' and Z'Baryonic Dark Matter models (included is the plotting program as well as the most recent plots)
  4. My contributions to the CMS analysis note on the subject

Usage

To produce new kinematic stacks and limit plots, use makeLimitPlots.py, makePlotStacks.py, and plot_VBF.py with data produced from tools in Dustin Burn's repo.
