MSSM Higgs to τ τ and Optimizing Sensitivity : Report for Advanced Physics - Project Course 1FA565

Abstract: I replicated the H/A → τ μ τ had analysis of the MSSM extension to the stan-dard model with the ATLAS experiment. I investigated, using a transformedBDT score for τ -lepton identification with a flat distribution, with more work-ing points than the standard loose, medium and tight, the sensitivity of theanalysis. I then compared for each of the working points and found new signalefficiencies that are more sensitive for this analysis than the standard workingpoints.
