B-identification for Level 2: The Silicon Track Trigger at D0
S. Caron, D0 collaboration
This article describes the Silicon Track Trigger (STT) which has been fully commissioned in 2004 at the DO experiment. The STT allows to enrich already at the second trigger level…
AutoSourceID-Classifier. Star-Galaxy Classification using a Convolutional Neural Network with Spatial Information
F. Stoppa, S. Bhattacharyya, R. Ruiz de Austri +10
Aims. Traditional star-galaxy classification techniques often rely on feature estimation from catalogues, a process susceptible to introducing inaccuracies, thereby potentially jeo…
Anomaly-free Dark Matter with Harmless Direct Detection Constraints
S. Caron, J. A. Casas, J. Quilis +1
Dark matter (DM) interacting with the SM fields via a boson ('-portal') remains one of the most attractive WIMP scenarios, both from the theoretical and the phenomenologic…
AutoSourceID-FeatureExtractor. Optical image analysis using a two-step mean variance estimation network for feature estimation and uncertainty characterisation
F. Stoppa, R. Ruiz de Austri, P. Vreeswijk +9
Aims. In astronomy, machine learning has been successful in various tasks such as source localisation, classification, anomaly detection, and segmentation. However, feature regress…
Absorbing systematic effects to obtain a better background model in a search for new physics
S. Caron, G. Cowan, E. Gross +2
This paper presents a novel approach to estimate the Standard Model backgrounds based on modifying Monte Carlo predictions within their systematic uncertainties. The improved backg…
The D0 Run II Impact Parameter Trigger
T. Adams, Q. An, K. M. Black +40
Many physics topics to be studied by the D0 experiment during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider give rise to final states containing b--flavored particles. Examples in…
