The kinematics of decays can be deducted by a two-fold ambiguity with a quadratic equation. To resolve the two-fold ambiguity, a new method based on Machine Learning (ML) is proposed. We study the e􀀋ect of di􀀋erent sets of features and regressors on the improvement of reconstructed invariant mass squared of `􀀗 system (q2 ) . The result shows that the best performance is obtained by using the 􀀍ight vector as the features, and the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model as the regressor. Compared with the random choice, the MLP model improves the resolution of reconstructed q 2 by 􀀘 40% . Furthermore, the possibility of using this  \nmethod on various semileptonic decays is shown.  \n􀀃 Corresponding author: [sunl@whu.edu.cn](sunl@whu.edu.cn)  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nSemileptonic decays, mediated by a virtual W boson which produces one lepton and the corresponding neutrino in addition to one or more hadrons, o􀀋er a good platform to study the weak as well as strong interaction e􀀋ects [1] . Studies of semileptonic decays, therefore, have been paid much more attention in recent years, especially for the purposes of precise measurements on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements, such as the determination of j Vubj and jVcbj . The precision measurement of the CKM matrix elements allows us: I) to test the unitarity of the CKM matrix [2] and then to measure the angle 􀀌; II) to improve the precision on the least well-known CKM elements; III) to help resolve the tension between exclusive and inclusive measurements; IV) to probe new physics (NP); and V) to help predict other branching fractions, such as B ! 􀀜􀀗􀀜 . Additionally, the recent measurements of the branching fraction ratios R(D? ) = B(B ! D(?)􀀜􀀗)=B(B ! D (?)􀀖􀀗) measured in experiments show a slight disagreement with the Standard Model (SM) predictions [3] . Based on the above, the studies of semileptonic decays by LHCb experiment, which focuses on a heavy-􀀍avour studies in a forward region, show an increasing trend, although the presence of an unreconstructed neutrino is experimentally challenging.  \nAt B-factories operating at the 􀀇(4S) resonance, the kinematics of missing particles  \n􀀖  \nin B mesons can be reconstructed by balancing against the B decay [4], while in hadron collider experiments the studies of semileptonic decays pose a technical challenge due to the unreconstructed neutrino in the 􀀌nal state. Hadron collider experiments provide a great number of opportunities to precisely determine CKM matrix elements in semileptonic decays, although some challenges still remain in resolving the missing neutrino due to the busy hadronic environment and the production mechanism. First of all, a large Lorentz boost can be produced by hadron collider experiments, especially at the forward rapidity covered by the LHCb experiment [5], which is one of the major experiments at LHC. Secondly, the decay kinematics can be restricted by the b-hadron decay vertex and the measured 􀀍ight vector which connects with the primary pp interaction vertex [6] . Finally, the mass of single missing particles can be deduced from the conservation of four-momentum. Conservation of the transverse momentum to the 􀀍ight vector provides two independent constraints on the semileptonic decays as well. A third constraint is the parent b-hadron mass should be conserved, though this condition has an ambiguity which produ","cbCaioyHqI1crPaM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioyHqI1crPaM","pdf",344040,2,1,13,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"Why is q2 reconstruction in semileptonic decays difficult at hadron colliders like LHCb?\",\"answer\":\"Because the neutrino is unreconstructed in the final state, so its momentum must be inferred using kinematic constraints, which creates an intrinsic two-solution ambiguity.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the proposed method use to resolve the two-fold ambiguity?\",\"answer\":\"It replaces manual resolution with a machine-learning regression strategy, testing different feature sets and regressors to improve the reconstructed q2 resolution.\"},{\"question\":\"Which machine-learning configuration gives the best performance, and what improvement is reported?\",\"answer\":\"Using support vector features with a multilayer perceptron regressor provides the best results, improving the q2 resolution by about 40% compared with random choice.\"}]","A new method for the q2 reconstruction in semileptonic decays at LHCb based on machine learning -
