AI-powered full-data set search for new physics in ultraperipheral and diffractive events
Simone Ragoni, Brianna Kinkaid, Janet Seger +2
We present possible strategies for anomaly detection of rare particle decays and exotic hadrons, such as pentaquarks, in low-background environments such as those characteristic of…

Machine learning opportunities for online and offline tagging of photo-induced and diffractive events in continuous readout experiments
Simone Ragoni, Janet Seger, Christopher Anson +1
The increasing data rates in modern high-energy physics experiments such as ALICE at the LHC and the upcoming ePIC experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) present significant…

Zero-bias new particle searches using autoencoders in UPCs and diffractive events
Simone Ragoni, Janet Seger, Christopher Anson
We present an application of unsupervised learning for zero-bias detection of rare particle decays and exotic hadrons in low-background environments such as those characteristic of…
