Description

The discovery of "God Particle", the Higgs Boson, from millions of particle tracks was possible through the wide use of machine learning tools and algorithms in the analyses. Today, machine learning has become the mainstay in almost all high energy physics experiments leading to new particle discoveries and thus to new physics. New experiments like the Electron-Ion Collider, Hyper Kamiokande and DUNE, amongst others, have deployed machine learning algorithms in many of the software and hardware acitivities. In this series of talks, an introduction to heavy ion physics will be given followed by an overview of machine learning applications in high energy physics. The speaker is a former student of the Department of Physics at CUK, currently at Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies, Germany, pursuing his PhD. The event is open to all faculty and students of CUK.
