Yes, it's common for large scale collaboration experiment like this. Papers from ATLAS/CMS have about 15 pages for authors (for example https://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.00425.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.02610.pdf).

As others have commented we've been using tools like neural networks and boosted decisions trees for a long time. We have quite good simulation which tells us what particles would look like in our detector, but one thing our simulation tells us is that it's often really hard to tell the difference between a Higgs Boson and some other "background" process. So the logic goes like this: if we trust our simulation, we can simulate the Higgs, and simulate the background, and then train a neural network to tell us which is which. Then we turn the network loose on our data. If it sees lots of things…
