Deep Learning and Machine Learning

Oral presentation

Research on the classification of neutron/gamma waveforms in scintillators using Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) techniques is still an active topic. Numerous methods have been explored to optimise this classification. Some of the most recent research is focused on machine learning techniques for this classification with excellent results. In this field, FPGAs with high-sampling rate ADCs...

13. FELIX: commissioning the new detector interface for the ATLAS trigger and readout system

Data Acquisition System Architectures

Oral presentation

After the current LHC shutdown (2019-2021), the ATLAS experiment will be required to operate in an increasingly harsh collision environment. To maintain physics performance, the ATLAS experiment will undergo a series of upgrades during the shutdown. A key goal of this upgrade is to improve the capacity and flexibility of the detector readout system. To this end, the Front-End Link eXchange...

14. The Mu3e Data Acquisition

Data Acquisition System Architectures

Oral presentation

The Mu3e experiment aims to find or exclude the lepton flavor violating decay $\mu^+ \rightarrow e^+e^-e^+$ with a sensitivity of one in 10$^{16}$ muon decays. The first phase of the experiment is currently under construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI, Switzerland), where beams with up to 10$^8$ muons per second are available. The detector will consist of an ultra-thin pixel tracker...

18. The new software based read out driver for the ATLAS experiment

Data Acquisition System Architectures

Oral presentation

In order to maintain sensitivity to new physics in the coming years of LHC operations, the ATLAS experiment is upgrading a portion of the front-end electronics and replacing parts of the detector with new devices that can operate under the much harsher background conditions of the future LHC. The legacy DAQ system features detector-specific custom VMEbus boards (Readout Drivers or 'RODs')...
