113. Proposal for a proton-bunch compression experiment at IOTA in the strong space-charge regime

Ben Simons (Fermilab and Northern Illinois University)

09/07/2024, 16:15

The longitudinal compression of intense proton bunches with strong space-charge force is an essential component of a proton-based muon source for a muon collider. This paper discusses a proton-bunch compression experiment at the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) storage ring at Fermilab to explore optimal radio frequency (RF) cavity and lattice configurations. IOTA is a compact...

116. Some tools for a blind physicst

Being blind, as with any disability, brings with it a whole host of challenges. There are not that many people who are visually impaired working in high energy physics. This talk attempts to look at the intersection of those two worlds. It will explore some of the struggles of doing work in this field while being blind -- looking at both the physical challenges as well as the structural and...

96. Smart Pixel Sensors for the HL-LHC

Large-scale particle physics experiments produce tens of terabytes of data every second. Innovative methods to manage the data rate at the HL-LHC, which expects to operate at 10x the luminosity of what the LHC was initially designed for, are needed. AI-on the chip provides a way to intelligently filter out low momentum clusters in the pixel detector. This will open up an opportunity to use the...

84. A New Track Trigger for Characterizing the Antiproton-Induced Background in the Mu2e Experiment

Ethan Martinez

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will enable the search for the neutrinoless muon to electron conversion in the field of an Al nucleus, a charged lepton flavor violating process. If observed, there would be a clear indication of physics beyond the Standard Model. Mu2e aims to reach a single event sensitivity of $3 \times 10^{-17}$, improving from the previous limit by 4 orders of magnitude....

127. Constraining Systematic Uncertainties for Future Sterile Neutrino Analysis at NOvA Experiment

SHIVAM Chaudhary (IIT Guwahati)

09/07/2024, 17:15

With detectors at both Fermilab and Ash River, Minnesota, in the United States, NOvA
was built to investigate the intricate properties of neutrinos, with a principal emphasis on active
three-flavour neutrino mixing phenomena. Comprising two functionally identical detectors, with
the Near Detector located 1 km at Fermilab and the Far Detector located 810 km away and 14
mrad off the beam...

128. LArIAT in 10 Minutes

Liani Silva

09/07/2024, 17:30

The LArIAT (Liquid Argon In a Testbeam) experiment utilizes a LArTPC (Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber) exposed to a tertiary beam of charged particles at Fermilab’s Test Beam Facility. LArIAT has collected large samples of pions, muons, electrons, protons, and kaons in the momentum range of ~ 300-1400 MeV/c. The scientific purpose of the LArIAT experiment is to investigate the interaction...

53. DAMSA: A Novel Dark Sector Particle Search Experiment at Fermilab PIP-II and Beyond

The search for dark sector particles has been a subject of significant interest in particle physics due to its potential to explain several long-standing mysteries in the universe. In this presentation, I will discuss a novel beam dump experiment concept called Dump-produced Aboriginal Matter Searches at an Accelerator (DAMSA), a pioneering experimental challenge designed to overcome...

22. Enhanced Slip-Stacking Techniques for Particle Accelerators: Analytical, Numerical, and Experimental Investigation

Particle accelerators employ slip-stacking configurations to store two particle beams with disparate momenta within a single ring. Additionally, A novel slip-stacking configuration employing a harmonic RF cavity was proposed and studied. Anticipated benefits of the harmonic cavity include mitigating parametric resonances, minimizing emittance growth, and significantly expanding the stable...

11. HEP Software Training with HSF/IRIS-HEP

HEP software requires both general computational skills and domain knowledge of the field. In my experience, more and more young students lack the software knowledge needed to contribute to the HEP community. IRIS-HEP and the HSF have programs designed to bridge this gap for young scientists through training events. Specifically, I mention the Software Basics Training workshops that teach...

57. Parallelizing Event Generation in PYTHIA with python

36. WavPool: A New Block for Deep Neural Networks

Modern deep neural networks comprise many operational layers, such as dense or convolutional layers, which are often collected into blocks.In this work, we introduce a new, wavelet-transform-based network architecture that we call the multi-resolution perceptron: by adding a pooling layer, we create a new network block, the WavPool.

The first step of the multi-resolution perceptron is...
