Matrix Element Method/Evidence
Method evidence record

Matrix Element Method

The Matrix Element Method (MEM) is a powerful analysis technique that leverages quantum field theory amplitudes to extract maximum physics information from individual events. By comparing observed detector signatures to predictions from matrix elements, MEM provides unbiased, model-independent measurements with excellent theoretical precision and sensitivity to new physics.
