M2-10 Machine learning in HEP & Novel reconstruction techniques I (PPD) / Apprentissage automatique en PHE et nouvelles techniques de reconstruction I (PPD)

Hyper-Kamiokande is the next generation water-Cherenkov neutrino experiment, building on the success of its predecessor Super-Kamiokande. To match the increased precision and reduced statistical errors of the new detectors, improvements to event reconstruction and event selection are required to suppress backgrounds and reduce systematic errors. Machine learning has the potential to provide...
The neutrino, a fundemental particle, offers the potential to image parts of the universe never before seen and can provide an early warning for cosmic events. With their ability to carry information across the universe unperturbed, neutrinos offer a clear image of the cosmos and can provide insight into its nature with relative ease. Learning from successful neutrino telescopes such as...
A crucial task of the ATLAS calorimeter is energy measurement of detected particles. In the liquid argon (LAr) calorimeter subdetector of ATLAS, electromagnetically and hadronically interacting particles are detected through LAr ionization. Special electronics convert drifting electrons into a measurable current. The analytical technique presently used to extract energy from the measured...
The rare $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ decay is an ideal probe for beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics contributions to the flavor sector. It is heavily suppressed in the SM and its branching ratio is predicted, with remarkable precision for a second order weak process involving hadrons, to be $\left(8.4 \pm 1.0\right) \times 10^{-11}$.
The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is designed...
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is expected to begin its fourth observing run in 2022, with a large projected improvement in detector sensitivity. This sensitivity boost increases the gravitational wave (GW) detection rate, but also increases the likelihood of GW events overlapping with transient, non-Gaussian detector noise, or glitches. This project aims to...
