Influence of QCD parton showers in deep learning invisible Higgs bosons through vector boson fusion

Vector boson fusion established itself as a highly reliable channel to probe the Higgs boson and an avenue to uncover new physics at the Large Hadron Collider. This channel provides the most stringent bound on Higgs???s invisible decay branching ratio, where the current upper limits are significantly higher than the one expected in the Standard Model. It is remarkable that merely low-level calorimeter data from this characteristically simple process can improve this limit substantially by employing sophisticated deep learning techniques. The construction of such neural networks seems to comprehend the event kinematics and radiation pattern exceptionally well. However, the full potential of this outstanding capability also warrants a precise theoretical projection of QCD parton showering and corresponding radiation pattern. This work demonstrates the relation using different recoil schemes in the parton shower with leading-order and higher-order computation.
