Neural Network by Ear: How to Capture a Particle's Energy
Measuring a particle’s energy at the Large Hadron Collider is like trying to catch a whisper in a roaring crowd. When protons collide, a flurry of particles is born, their signals blending into a cacophony. Old-school methods, like a noise-clogged ear, systematically underestimate the energy.
Scientists built a neural network that works right inside the detector.
