Incorporating Heightened Scrutiny into a Large HEP Software Project
Philippe Canal, Chris Green, Kyle Knoepfel +5
In 2023, DUNE began re-evaluating the requirements of its data-processing framework, which led to commissioning a new design that would better fit neutrino physics than the existin…
Fisher Forecasting for the DESC with
Paul Rogozenski, Sankarshana Srinivasan, Javier Sánchez +15
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) has begun its ten-year survey of the entire visible southern hemisphere. To ensure robust cosmological measurem…
Distributed Quantum-Enhanced Optimization: A Topographical Preconditioning Approach for High-Dimensional Search
Dominik Soós, Marc Paterno, John Stenger +1
Optimization problems become fundamentally challenging as the number of variables increases. Because the volume of the search space grows exponentially, classical algorithms freque…
Smokescreen: A Python package for data vector blinding and encryption in cosmological analyses
Arthur Loureiro, Jessica Muir, Jonathan Blazek +10
Smokescreen is an open-source Python library for data-vector concealment (blinding) in cosmological analyses. Data-vector blinding works by applying cosmology-dependent shifts to t…
