I formed the group that did this analysis, repeating a cut analysis from CDF Run I, introduced advanced multivariate techniques (neural networks) with a student. I wrote and used the software to do the network training, plot comparisons with data and fit for the sensitivity/exclusion limits. I demonstrated the consistency with the “Matrix Element” approach and worked on improvements in sensitivity to the Higgs signal, exceeding that expected from statistics alone. I provided input and did the analysis on four of the nine channels of Higgs decays.
