Idea is to investigate whether interference “dips” in mll can be used to enhance limits above bump hunting, using the Rivet implementation of the ATLAS 13 TeV mll spectrum + resolution smearing.

Study dependence on resonance/interference width, play-off against measurement systematics, and propose recommendations on experimental data reporting to allow interference-aware interpretations in future.
