The CTD conference will be preceded by a single day workshop focusing on emerging techniques for reconstruction and simulation algorithms in high-energy physics and related fields. The objective of the workshop is to explore in greater depth research areas that are among the more speculative of those covered in the main Connecting the Dots workshop.
Potential topics that are not (yet) under active development in HEP. In particular:
-
Quantum and quantum-inspired tracking and applications to other reconstruction algorithms (e.g. jet and calorimeter reconstruction)
-
Emerging directions and opportunities in AI/ML for HEP pattern recognition challenges
The workshop will be one day hosted by the University of Tokyo and will be a mix of invited keynote talks and abstract-driven contributions. It will feature a mix of presentations and discussion, with the explicit goal of exploring potential future research directions and collaborations. Abstracts can be submitted via the main CTD call for abstracts and have the same nominal deadline.
Thanks to a grant from the University of Tokyo and Princeton University Stategic Partnership program, there is no registration fee for this event. Registration is required and will be handled via the CTD2025 conference registration (attending CTD2025 is not required to attend this wokrshop).
