The Mu2e experiment, currently under construction at Fermilab, will search for charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) in the form of coherent neutrinoless conversion of muons to electrons in the presence of an atomic nucleus. In order to reach its projected single-event sensitivity of $3 \times 10 ^{−17}$, Mu2e will need to create the most intense muon beam ever developed, with $10^{10}$...
The Mu2e experiment being constructed at Fermilab will search for indications of Charged Lepton Flavor Violation by measuring 105-MeV electrons emitted in conversions of negative muons into electrons in the nuclear field without emission of neutrinos. Mu2e-II is a proposed upgrade to the baseline Mu2e experiment to extend the reach by an order of magnitude. To enhance charged-pion...
Quantum machine learning could possibly become a valuable alternative to classical machine learning for applications in High Energy Physics by offering computational speed-ups. In this study, we employ a support vector machine with a quantum kernel estimator (QSVM-Kernel method) to a recent LHC flagship physics analysis: $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$H (Higgs boson production in association with a...
Clustering of charged particle tracks along the beam axis is the first step in reconstructing the positions of proton-proton (p-p) collisions at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. In this talk, we formulate this problem for a 2048 qubit D-Wave quantum computer that works by quantum annealing. We showcase the performance of the quantum annealer on artificial events generated from p-p...
