Involving AI in analyzing experimental data has happened before, but in this case we are talking about the MUonE project. Its creators assumed independent and accurate measurements of the muon's magnetic moment.

As our compatriots explain in: computer scienceAI-based tools can be used to quickly reconstruct particle trajectories. If everything goes according to plan, we will see the consequences of implementing this idea in the next two or three years. It is of course about the application of technology in relation to MUonE.
During experiments performed with particle detectors, these particles pass through subsequent layers of the detector. With each such transition, they leave behind a certain amount of energy. Based on the points created in this way, scientists can reconstruct the flight path.
In the Polish scientists' concept, artificial intelligence could be used to track particles used in detectors
In theory, it seems trivial, but practice shows something completely different. Most problems occur when these points are close together, making them difficult to identify. Artificial intelligence, which is adapted to analyze many pieces of information simultaneously and is able to learn certain global patterns, could revolutionize this field.
Polish scientists are behind a so-called deep neural network in which the input layer consists of 20 neurons. The next four contain 1000 neurons, while the first contains 8 neurons. All neurons in each layer are connected to all neurons in the adjacent layer, and in total, the entire network has two million configuration parameters with values determined during the learning process.

Then comes training time, during which the tool will learn how to reconstruct particle trajectories. It turns out that once artificial intelligence acquires the appropriate capabilities, it can perform the tasks assigned to it with high efficiency and at a rapid pace. After some time has passed, it will be time to test this concept under the difficult conditions of the MUonE experiment.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
