The search for highly ionizing particles in nuclear track detectors (NTDs) traditionally requires experts to manually search through samples in order to identify regions of interest that could be a hint of physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. The advent of automated image acquisition and modern data science, including machine learning-based processing of data presents an opportunity to accelerate the process of searching for anomalies in NTDs that could be a hint of a new physics avatar. The potential for modern data science applied to this topic in the context of the MoEDAL experiment at the large Hadron collider at the European Centre for Nuclear Research, CERN, is discussed. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Topological avatars of new physics’.

The use of machine learning techniques for classification is well established. They are applied widely to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and the sensitivity of searches for new physics at colliders. In this study I explore the use of machine learning for optimizing the output of high precision experiments by selecting the most sensitive variables to the quantity being measured. The precise determination of the electroweak mixing angle at the Large Hadron Collider using linear or deep neural network regressors is developed as a test case.

The idea of an intelligent, independent learning machine has fascinated humans for decades. The philosophy behind machine learning is to automate the creation of analytical models in order to enable algorithms to learn continuously with the help of available data. Since IoT will be among the major sources of new data, data science will make a great contribution to make IoT applications more intelligent. Machine learning can be applied in cases where the desired outcome is known (guided learning) or the data is not known beforehand (unguided learning) or the learning is the result of interaction between a model and the environment (reinforcement learning). This chapter answers the questions: How could machine learning algorithms be applied to IoT smart data? What is the taxonomy of machine learning algorithms that can be adopted in IoT? And what are IoT data characteristics in real-world which requires data analytics?

The most interesting cosmological open problems, baryon asymmetry, dark matter, inflation and dark energy, are not explained by the standard model of particle physics (SM). The final<br />goal of the Large Hadron Collider an experimental verification of the SM in the Higgs sector, and also a search for evidence of new physics beyond it. In this paper we will report some of the results obtained in 2010 and 2011, from the LHCb experiment dedicated to the study of CP violations and rare decays of heavy quarks.

Weak-scale supersymmetry is a well-motivated, if speculative, theory beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. It solves the thorny issue of the Higgs mass, namely: how can it be stable to quantum corrections, when they are expected to be 10 15 times bigger than its mass? The experimental signal of the theory is the production and measurement of supersymmetric particles in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. No such particles have been seen to date, but hopes are high for the impending run in 2015. Searches for supersymmetric particles can be difficult to interpret. Here, we shall discuss the fact that, even given a well-defined model of supersymmetry breaking with few parameters, there can be multiple solutions. These multiple solutions are physically different and could potentially mean that points in parameter space have been ruled out by interpretations of LHC data when they should not have been. We shall review the multiple solutions and illustrate their existence in a universal model of supersymmetry breaking.

The success of the first three years of operations of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at center-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV radically changed the landscape of searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) and our very way of thinking about its possible origin and its hiding place. Among the paradigms of new physics that have been probed quite extensively at the LHC, are various models that predict the existence of extra spatial dimensions. In this review, the current status of searches for extra dimensions with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is presented, along with prospects for future searches at the full energy of the LHC, expected to be reached in the next few years.

AbstractThe vectorlike top partners are potential signature of some new physics beyond the Standard Model at the TeV scale. In this paper, we propose to search for the vectorlike T quark with charge 2/3 in the framework of a simplified model where the top partners only couples with the third generation of Standard Model quarks. We investigate the observability for electroweak production of a vectorlike T quark in association with a standard model bottom quark through the process $$pp \rightarrow T\bar{b}j$$ p p → T b ¯ j with the subsequent decay mode of $$T\rightarrow t(\rightarrow b W^+\rightarrow b \ell ^{+} \nu _{\ell })h( \rightarrow \gamma \gamma )$$ T → t ( → b W + → b ℓ + ν ℓ ) h ( → γ γ ) , at the proposed High Energy Large Hadron Collider (HE-LHC) and Future Circular Collider in hadron-hadron mode (FCC-hh) including the realistic detector effects. The 95% confidence level excluded regions and the $$5\sigma $$ 5 σ discovery reach in the parameter plane of $$\kappa _{T}-m_T$$ κ T - m T , are respectively obtained at the HE-LHC with the integrated luminosity of 15 ab$$^{-1}$$ - 1 and the FCC-hh with the integrated luminosity of 30 ab$$^{-1}$$ - 1 . We also analyze the projected sensitivity in terms of the production cross section times branching fraction at the HE-LHC and FCC-hh.

Abstract Axion-like particles (ALPs) appear in various new physics models with spon- taneous global symmetry breaking. When the ALP mass is in the range of MeV to GeV, the cosmology and astrophysics bounds are so far quite weak. In this work, we investi- gate such light ALPs through the ALP-strahlung production processes pp → W±a, Za with the sequential decay a → γγ at the 14 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb−1 (HL-LHC). Building on the concept of jet image which uses calorimeter towers as the pixels of the image and measures a jet as an image, we investigate the potential of machine learning techniques based on convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify the highly boosted ALPs which decay to a pair of highly collimated photons. With the CNN tagging algorithm, we demonstrate that our approach can extend current LHC sensitivity and probe the ALP mass range from 0.3 GeV to 5 GeV. The obtained bounds are stronger than the existing limits on the ALP-photon coupling.
