Search for Accelerator-Produced Sub-GeV Dark Matter with the NOvA Near Detector
S. Abubakar, M. Acero, B. Acharya +184
The NuMI facility at Fermilab produces a high-intensity beam of muon neutrinos and antineutrinos, designed to study neutrino oscillations. This beam may also be a source of dark ma…
A* Search Without Expansions: Learning Heuristic Functions with Deep Q-Networks
Forest Agostinelli, Shahaf S. Shperberg, Alexander Shmakov +3
Efficiently solving problems with large action spaces using A* search remains a significant challenge. This is because, for each iteration of A* search, the number of nodes generat…
Fast and Precise Track Fitting with Machine Learning
Ryan Miller, Alexander Shmakov, Kyuho Oh +5
Efficient and accurate particle tracking is crucial for measuring Standard Model parameters and searching for new physics. This task consists of two major computational steps: trac…
Reconstruction of boosted and resolved multi-Higgs-boson events with symmetry-preserving attention networks
Haoyang Li, Marko Stamenkovic, Alexander Shmakov +12
The production of multiple Higgs bosons at the CERN LHC provides a direct way to measure the trilinear and quartic Higgs self-interaction strengths as well as potential access to b…
Measurement of d2sigma/d|q|dEavail in charged current neutrino-nucleus interactions at <Ev> = 1.86 GeV using the NOvA Near Detector
M. A. Acero, B. Acharya, P. Adamson +205
Double- and single-differential cross sections for inclusive charged-current neutrino-nucleus scattering are reported for the kinematic domain 0 to 2 GeV/c in three-momentum transf…
Dual-Baseline Search for Active-to-Sterile Neutrino Oscillations in NOvA
The NOvA Collaboration
We report a search for neutrino oscillations to sterile neutrinos under a model with three active and one sterile neutrinos (3+1 model). This analysis uses the NOvA detectors expos…
