1. Improving Di-Higgs Boson Detection in the 1l3tau Channel Using Machine Learning

Shaikha Albassam (CERN)

8/6/25, 9:00 AM

Shaikha is entering her 4th year studying physics and mathematics in Kuwait University. This summer, she’s been working in the ATLAS experiment to help improve the detection of the Higgs pair production.

2. Analysis of the 4-Cell Problem in the LHCb's Electromagnetic Calorimeter

Jinkyu So (CERN)

8/6/25, 9:15 AM

Jinkyu is an undergraduate physics student at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea. He has been working as a research intern with the KCMS Elementary Particle Physics group at his university.

This summer, he has been involved in Data Quality and Monitoring for the LBD group in LHCb, focusing on a project analyzing the 4-Cell Problem in the LHCb electromagnetic calorimeter. This issue,...

8/6/25, 9:30 AM

Understanding neutrino interactions is key to unlocking the full physics potential of DUNE. In this talk, I present a novel data-driven strategy to estimate the $\nu_e/\nu_\mu$ cross-section ratio without relying on interaction models. By exploiting the unique off-axis capabilities of DUNE-PRISM, we construct optimized linear combinations of $\nu_\mu$ fluxes that closely replicate $\nu_e$...

Amplifier Testing for Cryogenic SiPMs Detector as part of the ALPHA-3 Upgrade

Hi, my name is Chalisa Visvajit, a Mechanical Engineering student from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. I had the opportunity to work with the ALPHA experiment at CERN. My project focused on integrating and testing silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) under cryogenic conditions for the ALPHA-3 trap. These...

5. Beam-Cavity Interactions at injection in the PS Booster

Ngai Zhi Samuel Lau

8/6/25, 10:15 AM

Samuel is an undergraduate representing Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, studying Aerospace Engineering. His work at CERN involves investigating transient effects at injection in the PS Booster, specifically in longitudinal beam dynamics. A new model has been created that follows the dynamic behaviour of the PSB RF cavity feedback loops, and and his study aims to validate the...

6. Developing Neural Networks to Tag Emerging Jets in the ATLAS Experiment

Sophie Gélinas (Simon Fraser University (CA))

8/6/25, 10:30 AM

Machine learning algorithms are being developed to search for dark matter in the ATLAS experiment. One class of dark matter models under consideration involves a dark sector containing dark quarks that shower and hadronize into dark mesons. These mesons may travel significant distances before decaying into Standard Model particles, producing topologically distinct emerging jets that can be...

7. Brad Andrew Brown

Brad Andrew Brown (University of Texas at Arlington)

8/6/25, 10:45 AM

Hello! My name is Brad Brown and I’m a senior undergraduate physics student at the University of Texas at Arlington. This summer, I worked with the LHCb Simulation team on restoring and modernizing the Machine-Induced Background (MIB) generator — a simulation tool originally developed during Run 1 of the LHC but unused since. MIB arises from beam losses around the accelerator and can impact...

Secondary Vertex Reconstruction with Maskformer

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will generate data in a challenging high pile-up environment, making the reconstruction of secondary vertices, crucial for identifying heavy-flavor quarks and searching for new physics, extremely difficult. This project addresses this by developing an end-to-end machine learning pipeline using the...
