Search for supersymmetric particles with the CERN LHC CMS experiment

INST: L_200Our group is searching for superymmetric particle pair production in final states where a photon, a Higgs boson decaying to two b-jets and significant missing transverse momentum (MET) are produced. I this thesis I used a machine learning technique, more specifically boosted decision trees, to suppress the background events and make the supersymmetric signal - if exists - observable. To test the accuracy of the classifiers, I compared my results to data from the CMS experimen
