Abstract

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