[Theory-seminars] Seminar today

[Raza Sufian]

Dear All,

Here is a reminder of the seminar today:

-Wednesday, January 9th, 1:00PM, Room L102
Michelle Kuchera (Davidson College), "Machine Learning for event simulation and classification in the Active-Target Time Projection Chamber."

Abstract:
The Active-Target Time Projection Chamber (AT-TPC) is a high-efficiency detector used for low-energy nuclear reactions at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. A week-long experiment using the AT-TPC collects over 10 terabytes of data. Challenges in analyzing data include simulating detector response to events, especially simulation of noisy events, and classification of reactions. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are used to improve simulations and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are found to classify events most successfully. Implementation methods and results for the GANs and CNNs will be presented in the context of a proton elastic scattering experiment, 46Ar(p,p), with discussion of broader applications in nuclear physics.
