Abstract:

The Higgs boson mass is reconstructed in single top production in association with a Higgs boson, tH, using a regression neural network approach. The reconstruction of the Higgs boson mass is expected to show discrimination to background processes. A focus lies on the lepton association. For the lepton association a classification neural network is used. Hyperparameter optimization as well as feature importance studies are applied in order to increase the neural network performance. For the Higgs boson mass reconstruction a hyperparameter optimization is also performed. The performance of the network is tested on tZ production, as the most significant background process.
