Unbinning global LHC analyses

Abstract

Neural simulation-based inference has been shown to outperform traditional, histogram-based inference in numerous phenomenological and experimental studies at the LHC. So far, these analyses have focused on individual processes. We study the combination of four different di-boson processes in terms of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Our results demonstrate how neural simulation-based inference also wins over traditional methods for more global LHC analyses.
