Physics at the Edge: Benchmarking Quantisation Techniques and the Edge TPU for Neutrino Interaction Recognition
Stefano Vergani, Hilary Utaegbulam, Michael Wang +4
This work presents a benchmark of quantisation techniques for convolutional neural networks applied to neutrino interaction recognition, motivated by the need for low-power inferen…
STAMP/STPA Informed Characterization of Factors Leading to Loss of Control in AI Systems
Steve Barrett, Anna Bruvere, Sean P. Fillingham +2
A major concern amongst AI safety practitioners is the possibility of loss of control, whereby humans lose the ability to exert control over increasingly advanced AI systems. The r…
LArTPC hit-based topology classification with quantum machine learning and symmetry
Callum Duffy, Marcin Jastrzebski, Stefano Vergani +5
We present a new approach to separate track-like and shower-like topologies in liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) experiments for neutrino physics using quantum machine…
A First Application of Collaborative Learning In Particle Physics
Stefano Vergani, Attila Bagoly
Over the last ten years, the popularity of Machine Learning (ML) has grown exponentially in all scientific fields, including particle physics. The industry has also developed new p…
Dipole-Coupled Neutrissimo Explanations of the MiniBooNE Excess Including Constraints from MINERvA Data
Nicholas W. Kamp, Matheus Hostert, Austin Schneider +5
We revisit models of heavy neutral leptons (neutrissimos) with transition magnetic moments as explanations of the excess of electron-like events at MiniBooNE. We perform a d…
Low-Energy Physics in Neutrino LArTPCs
D. Caratelli, W. Foreman, A. Friedland +285
In this white paper, we outline some of the scientific opportunities and challenges related to detection and reconstruction of low-energy (less than 100 MeV) signatures in liquid a…
Explaining the MiniBooNE Excess Through a Mixed Model of Oscillation and Decay
Stefano Vergani, Nicholas W. Kamp, Alejandro Diaz +4
The electron-like excess observed by the MiniBooNE experiment is explained with a model comprising a new low mass state ( eV) participating in neutrino oscillations…
Design and Construction of the MicroBooNE Detector
MicroBooNE Collaboration, R. Acciarri, C. Adams +237
This paper describes the design and construction of the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber and associated systems. MicroBooNE is the first phase of the Short Baseline…
Positron extraction to an electromagnetic field free region
D. A. Cooke, G. Barandun, S. Vergani +3
We describe a scheme for high efficiency (about 90%) extraction of 50 ns positron bunches from a buffer gas trap in an electromagnetic field free region. The positrons are time bun…
