APEXA: Execution-Integrity Enforcement for Multi-Agent LLM Automation of Synchrotron Data Reduction

Pawan K. Tripathi, Hemant Sharma, Andrew Chuang +1

LLM agents can make expert scientific workflows accessible through natural language, but a plausible response does not establish that the requested computation ran. This matters at…

On-chip Bragg peak extraction from MHz frame rate X-ray detectors using a cellular automaton architecture

S. Fowler, S. Strempfer, D. Beniwal +13

High-frame rate pixel detectors can produce data volumes that exceed available off-chip bandwidth, yet in many applications only a sparse subset of each frame carries relevant info…

Artifact-centered Claim-aware Observability for Autonomous Scientific Agents

Xiangyu Yin, Ming Du, Michael H. Prince +1

Autonomous scientific agents now increasingly propose ideas, write code, run experiments, analyze results, and even draft papers. Observe and audit those agents are necessary but l…
