研究通过加入动量转移t,使用增强决策树(BDT)在电子-离子对撞机中改进不可见暗玻色子的选择效果。
📝 Abstract
We investigate whether adding $t$, the positive magnitude of the squared nuclear four-momentum transfer, enables boosted decision trees (BDTs) to improve invisible-dark-boson selection relative to optimized rectangular cuts at the Electron-Ion Collider. We model coherent exclusive scalar and vector production at generator level in electron-gold collisions at 18 GeV by 100 GeV per nucleon. Both methods use identical weighted samples, inputs, preselection, and optimization objectives. Using only electron information, the BDT provided no consistent advantage over optimized cuts for signal selection across 11 masses for each boson type. When both methods also use $t$, the BDT distinguishes signal from background slightly better than optimized cuts at 10 GeV for both boson types. These results motivate further investigation of machine learning in EIC dark-boson searches through exclusive processes where $t$ can be reconstructed.
