Combined Measurement of the Higgs Boson Mass in $pp$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 TeV with the ATLAS and CMS Experiments (2015, methodology): “The fitting framework is implemented independently by ATLAS and CMS, using the ROOFIT [27], ROOSTATS [28], and HISTFACTORY [29] data modeling and handling packages.”
Combined measurements of Higgs boson production and decay using up to $80$ fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS experiment (2019, methodology): “Uncertainties due to the limited number of simulated events used to estimate expected signal and background yields are included using the simplified version of the Beeston–Barlow technique [141] implemented in the HISTFACTORY tool [142].”
Approximating Likelihood Ratios with Calibrated Discriminative Classifiers (2015, methodology): “There the strategy is to interpolate the distribution between discrete values of θ in order to produce a continuous parameterization for p ( s | θ ) (Read, 1999; Cranmer et al., 2012; Baak et al., 2015).”
Search for new high-mass phenomena in the dilepton final state using 36 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector (2017, methodology): “To perform the LLR search, the Histfactory [56] package is used together with the RooStats [57] and RooFit [58] packages.”
