MLPF: efficient machine-learned particle-flow reconstruction using graph neural networks
In general-purpose particle detectors, the particle-flow algorithm may be used to reconstruct a comprehensive particle-level view of the event by combining information from the calorimeters and the trackers, significantly improving the detector ...

Missing information search with deep learning for mass estimation
We introduce DeeLeMa, a deep learning-based network for the analysis of energy and momentum in high-energy particle collisions. This novel approach is specifically designed to address the challenge of analyzing collision events with multiple invisible ...

Investigating the origin of strangeness enhancement in small systems through multi-differential analyses [PDF]
The main goal of the ALICE experiment is to study the physics of strongly interacting matter, including the properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The relative production of strange hadrons with respect to non-strange hadrons in heavy-ion collisions

Detection of zero anisotropy at 5.2 AU during the November 1998 solar particle event: Ulysses Anisotropy Telescopes observations [PDF]
For the first time during the mission, the Anisotropy Telescopes instrument on board the Ulysses spacecraft measured constant zero anisotropy of protons in the 1.3-2.2 MeV energy range, for a period lasting more than three days.

Missing kinematic information of known invisible particles, such as neutrinos, limit several high-energy physics analysis. The undetected particle carries away momentum and energy information, preventing the total reconstruction of such an event.

Event shapes and jets in $e^{+}e^{-}$ and pp collisions [PDF]
In high energy particle collisions the shape of the event, i.e. the relative distribution of particles in momentum space, is often used to try to select events with certain topologies. It is claimed that an event shape observable like transverse sphericity is able to discriminate between jet-like events and events that are dominated by soft production ...

Event Shape Selection Method in Search of the Chiral Magnetic Effect in Heavy-ion Collisions [PDF]
The search for the chiral magnetic effect (CME) in heavy-ion collisions has been impeded by the significant background arising from the anisotropic particle emission pattern, particularly elliptic flow. To alleviate this background, the event shape selection (ESS) technique categorizes collision events according to their shapes and projects the CME ...

Event-by-Event Investigation of the Two-Particle Source Function in Heavy-Ion Collisions with EPOS
Exploring the shape of the pair-source function for particles such as pions or kaons has been an important goal of heavy-ion physics, and substantial effort has been made in order to understand the underlying physics behind the experimental observations ...

Energy flow networks: deep sets for particle jets
A key question for machine learning approaches in particle physics is how to best represent and learn from collider events. As an event is intrinsically a variable-length unordered set of particles, we build upon recent machine learning efforts to learn ...
