  UROP Summer Research Intern

  Conducted a study in the LHCb/HEP group, comparing sensitivity to the KKeμ mode of the rare decay, BS0->KKττ, to the KKμμ mode, currently being researched in studies into lepton universality violation and other tensions with the standard model, to determine the prospects for measurement with Run 3 data. Supervised by Dr Mitesh Patel.• Use of supervised machine learning, training, designing and selecting discriminating features and optimising BDT's (boosted decision tree classifiers) to separate the signal from the various backgrounds. • Conducted error analysis, compared and presented the results. • Use of Python programming, data analysis, running the code in a Linux/CentOS/command line environment through SSH, and handling of large datasets (i.e. some over 2 million data points and over 1500 columns/features).
