The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a WIMP direct detection experiment using a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber with a 7 ton active volume, expecting science results in 2022. In a rare-event experiment such as LZ, it is important to identify events stemming from unexpected backgrounds, errors in reconstruction, and abnormalities in detector function. General-purpose, unsupervised anomaly...
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a dark matter experiment located at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota. LZ is expected to explore new regimes of experimental sensitivity to a variety of dark matter candidates, notably Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). In pursuing new physics, it is important to ensure results are not influenced by biases towards achieving a...
The upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will provide answers to longstanding questions in neutrino physics, including the ordering of neutrino masses and the value of the CP-violating phase, $\delta_{CP}$. Utilizing liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, DUNE will rely on automated reconstruction of neutrino interactions and classification of final-state...
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (0νββ) is one of the primary research interests in particle and nuclear physics. As we enter the era of artificial intelligence, machine learning has grown exponentially in almost all types of 0νββ detectors. Thanks to its end-to-end nature, machine learning algorithms can easily surpass traditional algorithms by maximally extracting information from detectors....
The NOvA experiment is a long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiment. It uses the upgraded NuMI beam from Fermilab and measures electron neutrino appearance and muon neutrino disappearance at its Far Detector in Ash River, Minnesota. NOvA is the first neutrino experiment that implemented convolutional neural networks in event reconstruction. NOvA is also developing new deep-learning...
