Blog on my journey in High Energy Physics
Right. Contur. After several posts of saying “we’ll get to Contur next”, I should probably actually get to Contur. By this stage, I had a working Rivet analysis, simulated Higgs events, and a procedure for comparing signal and background. What I did not have was an FCC measurement. Mainly because the collider has not been …

Believe it or not, I actually have some drafts. I was just way too lazy to post them... Continuing from the Contur cliffhanger... Not yet. Before getting to Contur, there is one part of the project I need to catch up on: what happened to the original plan of changing Higgs interactions and looking for …
First, sorry for the delay. I was busy and lazy at the same time : ( But here is a cool figure from ATLAS to get us started. Figure 1. ATLAS event display of a candidate Higgs decay into four muons, H → ZZ* → 4μ, recorded on 10 June 2012. Image credit: ATLAS Collaboration, …
