Combination and summary of ATLAS dark matter searches interpreted in a 2HDM with a pseudo-scalar mediator using 139 ifb of 13 TeV pp collision data

We combined and interpreted the result from a wide range of searches targeting different experimental signatures in the context of a Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) with an additional pseudo-scalar mediator (2HDM+a).

Physics Performance of the ATLAS GNN4ITk Track Reconstruction Chain

This paper presents an algorithm based on Graph Neural Network for charged-particle track reconstruction in the ATLAS Inner Tracker. Using realistic simulation data, we demonstrate the performance of the algorithm in comparison with the state-of-the-art technique.

Simulation of Hadronic Interactions with Deep Generative Models

We explore the use of conditional normalizing flow in the simulation of interaction between hadronic particles and atomic nuclei in ordinary matter. We trained generative models to reproduce data simulated by the state-of-the-art simulator, conditioned on the kinematics of the incoming hadron.

Application of quantum machine learning using the quantum kernel algorithm on high energy physics analysis at the LHC

We studied a support vector machine with a quantum kernel estimator (SQVM-Kernel) for classification of proton-proton final states, targeting the Higgs boson production associated with a pair of top quarks. Using a dataset of 50000 events, we demonstrated the evquivalent performance of the quantum algorithm compared to the classical counterparts.

Semi-classical methods, angular momentum, and non-analytic problems

We explore the semi-classical Sommerfeld method of quantization as applied to states with nonzero angular momentum, and show that it leads to qualitatively and quantitatively useful information about systems with spherically symmetric potentials.
