Description
The discovery of the Higgs boson opened up possibilities for searches Beyond the Standard Model. During the analysis of the run 1 data, it was observed that there were a number of features in the data that can't explained by the Standard Model.
One of the models to explain the features is a Heavy-Scalar model where a heavy scalar decays into a Higgs boson and missing transverse energy. The search uses a three body final state where the Higgs boson decays into a Z boson , decaying into di-electron or di-muons, and a photon. In this study fake missing transverse energy is suppressed using multivariate analysis.
