Constraining New Physics in Lepton Flavor Universality Anomalies with LHC data using ATOM.

Searching for physics beyond the Standard Model at high energy colliders requires an enormous investment in resources and time. Frequently these searches are applicable to test a broader range of theoretical models than they were originally designed to test. The reinterpretation of experimental results imparts a broader impact to a given search while not requiring the further reprocessing of data. Our research presents the usage of a newly developed software framework for reinterpretation, ATOM, the Automated Test of Models. ATOM was applied to the reinterpretation of Z’, W’ and leptoquarks searches from the ATLAS experiment. Because of recent anomalies in lepton flavor universality measurements in heavy flavor decays, an evaluation of theoretical models that seek to account for these anomalies is of interest to the particle physics community. ATOM was thus used to evaluate viable models that endeavor to explain these heavy flavor anomalies by testing their relative correlation with experimental data from ATLAS.
