Title
A W± polarization analyzer from Deep Neural Networks
Abstract
We train a Convolutional Neural Network to classify longitudinally and
transversely polarized hadronic W± using the images of boosted W± jets as
input. The images capture angular and energy information from the jet
constituents that are faithful to the properties of the original
quark/anti-quark W± decay products without the need for invasive substructure
cuts. We find that the difference between the polarizations is too subtle for
the network to be used as an event-by-event tagger. However, given an ensemble
of W ± events with unknown polarization, the average network output from that
ensemble can be used to extract the longitudinal fraction fL. We test the
network on Standard Model pp → W±Z events and on pp → W±Z in the presence of
dimension-6 operators that perturb the polarization composition.
