I will describe our use of weak supervision, a method that combines multiple imperfect flaggers to construct training labels ...

High energy physics is distinctive among the physical sciences in its early adoption and deployment of new AI/ML methods, driven by extreme data volumes, complex event structures, and stringent real-time constraints.

These particles would leave very faint signals experimentally. A potential avenue for enhancing experimental sensitivity to light matter relies on the Migdal effect13–15, which involves the detectable ejection of electrons ...

Prof. Niels Bidault (University of Hawaii at Manoa) The electron beam linear accelerator (linac) at the Free Electron Laser (FEL) Laboratory at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is currently undergoing recommissioning. The facility was originally installed and operated under the direction of Prof. John Madey, pioneer of FEL science. The accelerator provides ...
