Multiple Scattering: When Atoms Kick Particles Around

When subnuclear particles traverse matter they give rise to a multitude of physical phenomena. The richness of the different processes is a crucial asset for the construction of sensitive particle detectors, and it is interesting in its own right. Inde... Continue reading

The Meta-Vaccine

With the delta variant of Covid-19 surging in many countries - e.g., over 100,000 new cases per day foreseen in the UK in the next few days, and many other countries following suit - we may feel depressed at the thought that this pandemic is going to s... Continue reading

RanBox Goes Semi-Supervised

Following my strong belief that science dissemination, and open borders science, is too important to pursue as a goal to constrain it by fears of being stripped of good ideas and scooped by fast competitors, I am offering here some ideas on a reserch p... Continue reading

Two Good Opportunities For In-Person Discussions On Machine Learning For Physics

After over one year of forced confinement, due to the still ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, academics around the world seem to have settled down on the idea that after all, we can still do our job via videoconferencing. We had to adapt to the situation as e... Continue reading

Fitting Lines Through Points With Simple Math

One of the reasons why I love my job as a researcher in experimental physics is that every day brings along a new problem to solve, and through decades of practice I have become quick at solving them, so I typically enjoy doing it. And it does not matt... Continue reading

Innovative Learning Spaces è la Scientific School organizzata e ideata dal DADU, Dipartimento di Architettura, Design e Urbanistica, dell’Università degli Studi di Sassari, in collaborazione con i Labora- tori nazionali di Frascati dell’INFN_Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, con il contributo … Continua a leggere Continue reading

Unsupervised Rounding Up Of Anomalous Densities With RanBox

In the previous post I mentioned a research project that I was about to conclude, centered on the detection of anomalies in multidimensional data. Here I would like to give some more detail of that research, as the article I wrote on the subject is now... Continue reading

Articles In Preparation: Anomaly Detection, Differentiable Programming, Nearest Neighbours On Steroids

Usually, when we talk about our research we discuss things we have recently published, highlighting the importance or novelty of their contribution to the advancement of human understanding or knowledge of the specific field of Science we work on.&nbsp... Continue reading
