Machine learning for particle identification & deep generative models towards fast simulations for the Alice Transition Radiation Detector at CERN

This Masters thesis outlines the application of machine learning techniques, predominantly deep learning techniques, towards certain aspects of particle physics. Its two main aims: particle identification and high energy physics detector simulations are pertinent to research avenues pursued by physi...

description This Masters thesis outlines the application of machine learning techniques, predominantly deep learning techniques, towards certain aspects of particle physics. Its two main aims: particle identification and high energy physics detector simulations are pertinent to research avenues pursued by physicists working with the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Transition Radiation Detector (TRD), within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research).
