Abstract
The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 by CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN. Since then, properties of Higgs boson are being measured and within the uncertainity intervals, the latest analysis results are in agreement with predictions of the Standard model (SM). However, more precise measurements have to be performed to establish whether this particle has all the properties of the SM Higgs. In this thesis, two categorizations of Higgs boson production mechanisms are presented. The first categorization is already implemented in CMS analysis. The second categorization, based on a machine learning algorithm - boosted decision tree (BDT), is developed as a part of this project. The improvement in the categorization efficiency has been achieved and the BDT categorization outperformed the existing classification by 6-18%, depending on a specific production mechanism. Using a combination of boosted decision tree and existing classification, signal strength fit was performed on Asimov dataset. Expected value of the signal strength modifier has been determined as well as the corresponding standard deviation.
Abstract (croatian)
Higgsov bozon otrkrile su CMS i ATLAS kolaboracije 2012. godine na CERN-u. Od tada su napravljena razna mjerenja njegovih svojstava i sva su se pokazala konzistentnima s predviđanjima Standardnog Modela unutar intervala pogreške. Međutim, potrebno je napraviti preciznija mjerenja kako bi se odredilo je li čestica uistinu Higgsov bozon iz Standardnog Modela. Svako odstupanje od očekivanih vrijednosti otvorilo bi prozor u novu fiziku. Higgsov bozon može se proizvesti na više načina u velikom hadronskom sudaraču. U ovom diplomskom radu predstavljene su dvije kategorizacije produkcijskih mehanizama Higgsovog bozona. Prva je već postojeća kategorizacija koja je otprije implementirana u CMS analizi. Druga kategorizacija, bazirana na algoritmu strojnog učenja - ubrzanom stablu odluke, razvijena je u sklopu ovog diplomskog rada. Poboljšanje u klasifikaciji je ostvareno te je ubrzano stablo odluke povećalo čistoću kategorija u rasponu 6-18%, ovisno o promatranom produkcijskom mehanizmu, u odnosu na postojeću kategorizaciju. Koristeći kombinaciju klasifikacije bazirane na ubrzanom stablu odluke i otprije implementirane klasifikacije, određena je očekivana vrijednost modifikatora jačine signala te pripadajuća standardna devijacija na Asimovom skupu podataka.
