Galaxy morphology is one of the most important parameters to understand the assembly and evolution of galaxies in the universe. The most used classification nowadays was proposed by Hubble (1926). This classification is based on the present of disks-, arms-, bulges-like structures, and is carried out mostly by eye identification. Thanks to the upcoming large telescopes and surveys, the new...

We explore the perspectives of machine learning techniques in the context of quantum field theories based on our recent publication[1]. In particular, we discuss two-dimensional complex scalar field theory at nonzero temperature and chemical potential – a theory with a nontrivial phase diagram. A neural network is successfully trained to recognize the different phases of this system and to...

Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) model the parton content of the proton. Of the many collaborations which focus on PDF determination in the last 20 years, NNPDF was pioneer on the use of Neural Networks to model the probability of finding partons (quarks and gluons) inside the proton with a given energy and momentum.
In this work we introduce state of the art techniques to modernize the...

Studies of High energy physics rely on cutting edge technology of particle detectors. These detectors are working under harsh conditions of constant radiations, and their operation must be strictly supervised to achieve maximum efficiency and quality of data taking. The LHCb's Vertex Locator is a strip silicon detector used in Run I and II of Large Hadron Collider. We study the application of...

The Belle II particle accelerator experiment is experiencing substantial background from outside of the interaction point. To avoid taking data representing this background, track parameters are estimated within the pipelined and dead time-free level 1 trigger system of the experiment and used to suppress such events. The estimation of a particle track’s origin with respect to the z-Axis,...
