[Cuga] AI4EIC-exp 2nd circular- a message from Cristiano Fanelli

[Lorelei Carlson]

Dear Colleagues,

We write to highlight the forthcoming Workshop:
AI4EIC-Exp - Experimental Applications of Artificial Intelligence for the
Electron-Ion Collider on 7-10 September 2021:

https://indico.bnl.gov/e/AI4EIC-exp

AI is generating a lot of buzz in the computing world and is often
referred to as the revolution of the new millennium as it is becoming ubiquitous in all
sectors of everyday life. AI will be an essential part of future experiments like the
Electron Ion Collider. AI can provide new insights and discoveries from both
experimental and computational data produced at user facilities. For example, “AI
techniques that can optimize the design of complex, large-scale experiments have the potential to
revolutionize the way experimental nuclear and particle physics is
currently done”.
In this context, the R&D program of the EIC for the next years could be
one of the first experimental programs systematically leveraging AI. An important
step in this direction was recently achieved with the first use of AI-driven
applications in the design of Particle Identification detectors for EIC. This workshop will
address in this strategic moment how AI might contribute to advance research, design and
operation of the future EIC. The Workshop will bring together the communities
directly using AI technologies and provide a venue for discussion and
identifying the specific needs for EIC. The workshop will take place under the
auspices of the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science (CFNS
https://www.stonybrook.edu/cfns/).

A face-to-face meeting at the CFNS was originally planned; but owing to
the COVID-19
challenge, the workshop will now proceed via ZOOM. Sessions will be held
10:00-17:00
(Eastern Time) on each of the four days. A first outline of the workshop
programme
is available here:

https://indico.bnl.gov/event/10699/timetable/#20210907.detailed

and will be updated with further details in the coming weeks.
The workshop will feature sessions on Experimental Design and Simulations,
Reconstruction/Analysis, Control of Experimental Systems, Detector
Readout, and Computing Frontiers. All discussions will be plenary. The afternoon of the
last day will be devoted to discussions on AI4EIC and the path forward and next
steps for the community.

We hope you can join in!

All the best,
Amber Boehnlein (JLab)
