AI Helps Hunt for New Particles in Large Hadron Collider Data
- Scientists used a neural network to analyze data from the Large Hadron Collider, searching for undiscovered particles.
- The machine learning approach looks for anomalies in the data that don't fit predictions.
- The neural network learned to recognize "normal" collision events that match the Standard Model.
- It spotted one unusual decay that merits more study as a potential new particle.
- The method could make searches more efficient at finding something beyond the Standard Model.
