The GlueX forward calorimeter is an array of 2800 lead glass modules that was constructed to detect photons produced in the decays of hadrons. A background to this process originates from hadronic interactions in the calorimeter, which, in some instances, can be difficult to distinguish from low energy photon interactions. Machine learning techniques were applied to the classification of particle interactions in the GlueX forward calorimeter. The algorithms were trained on data using decays of the $omega$ meson, which contain both true photons and charged particles that interact with the calorimeter. Algorithms were evaluated on efficiency, rate of false positives, run time, and implementation complexity. An algorithm that utilizes a multi-layer perceptron neural net was deployed in the GlueX software stack and provides a signal efficiency of 85% with a background rejection of 60% for an inclusive $pi^0$ data sample for an intermediate quality constraint.

Pions constitute nearly $70%$ of final state particles in ultra high energy collisions. They act as a probe to understand the statistical properties of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter i.e. Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in such relativistic heavy ion collisions (HIC). Apart from this, direct photons are the most versatile tools to study relativistic HIC. They are produced, by various mechanisms, during the entire space-time history of the strongly interacting system. Direct photons provide measure of jet-quenching when compared with other quark or gluon jets. The $pi^{0}$ decay into two photons make the identification of non-correlated gamma coming from another process cumbersome in the Electromagnetic Calorimeter. We investigate the use of deep learning architecture for reconstruction and identification of single as well as multi particles showers produced in calorimeter by particles created in high energy collisions. We utilize the data of electromagnetic shower at calorimeter cell-level to train the network and show improvements for identification and characterization. These networks are fast and computationally inexpensive for particle shower identification and reconstruction for current and future experiments at particle colliders.
DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a general purpose high energy cosmic ray and gamma ray observatory, aiming to detect high energy electrons and gammas in the energy range 5 GeV to 10 TeV and hundreds of TeV for nuclei. This paper provides a method using machine learning to identify electrons and separate them from gammas,protons,helium and heavy nuclei with the DAMPE data from 2016 January 1 to 2017 June 30, in energy range from 10 to 100 GeV.
Rapidly applying the effects of detector response to physics objects (e.g. electrons, muons, showers of particles) is essential in high energy physics. Currently available tools for the transformation from truth-level physics objects to reconstructed detector-level physics objects involve manually defining resolution functions. These resolution functions are typically derived in bins of variables that are correlated with the resolution (e.g. pseudorapidity and transverse momentum). This process is time consuming, requires manual updates when detector conditions change, and can miss important correlations. Machine learning offers a way to automate the process of building these truth-to-reconstructed object transformations and can capture complex correlation for any given set of input variables. Such machine learning algorithms, with sufficient optimization, could have a wide range of applications: improving phenomenological studies by using a better detector representation, allowing for more efficient production of Geant4 simulation by only simulating events within an interesting part of phase space, and studies on future experimental sensitivity to new physics.
Machine learning and statistical tools are applied to identify how parameters, such as temperature, influence peak stress and ice behavior. To enable the analysis, a common and small scale experimental data base is established.
I re-examine a recent work by G. Landi and G. E. Landi. [arXiv:1808.06708 [physics.ins-det]], in which the authors claim that the resolution of a tracker ca vary linearly with the number of detection layers, $N$, that is, faster than the commonly known $sqrt{N}$ variation, for a tracker of fixed length, in case the precision of the position measurement is allowed to vary from layer to layer, i.e. heteroscedasticity, and an appropriate analysis method, a weighted least squares fit, is used.
