Description
After finding evidence for the very rare Higgs decay to two leptons and a photon in 2021, we are now starting to re-optimize the analysis for the LHC Run 3. The previous analysis was completely based on rectangular cut-based selections and event classifications. We suggest having a summer student try out a BDT or NN to improve this. We would start with simulated samples, and with a simple ggF vs VBF classification to improve the sensitivity. Further categories and more realistic background can be added if there is time.
