Separation of hadronic W-decays from QCD-background with self-organizing maps

Description

Self-organizing maps have been used to explore physical variables capable to separate hadronic W-decays from QCD-background events. The separation power of the variables, which are used in the usual selection process, could be confirmed and a new variable, which improved the quality of the separation, has been constructed
