Machine Learning for Jet Physics 2024 (ML4Jets2024)

Machine learning has become a hot topic in particle physics over the past several years. In particular, there has been a lot of progress in the areas of particle and event identification, reconstruction, generative models, anomaly detection and more. In this conference, we will discuss current progress in these areas, focusing on new breakthrough ideas and existing challenges.

The ML4Jets workshop will be open to the full community and will include LHC experiments as well as theorists and phenomenologists interested in this topic. We explicitly welcome contributions and participation from method scientists as well as adjacent scientific fields such as astronomy, astrophysics, astroparticle physics, hadron and nuclear physics and other domains facing similar challenges.

The program will cover the following topics:

  • Tagging (Classification)
  • Reconstruction
  • Detector simulation & event generation
  • Theory
  • Astrophysics
  • Unfolding
  • Uncertainties
  • Anomaly detection
  • Interpretability

This year’s conference is organised jointly by LPNHE, LPTHE and IJCLab and hosted by LPNHE on the Paris Sorbonne Campus. Registration for both in-person and Zoom-participation is open and free of charge. It will take place from the 4th to 8th of November.

One of our PhD students, João Gonçalves, will attend and deliver a talk.

Quark Matter 2025

Quark Matter 2025 is the XXXI International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions, which will be held in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany. This conference brings together theoretical and experimental physicists from around the world to discuss new developments in high-energy heavy-ion physics. The focus of the discussions is on the fundamental understanding of strongly-interacting matter at extreme conditions, as formed in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as on emergent QCD phenomena in high-multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions. The scientific program will cover the following topics:

  • Chirality
  • Collective dynamics & small systems
  • Correlations & fluctuations
  • Detectors & future experiments
  • Electromagnetic probes
  • Heavy flavor & quarkonia
  • Initial state of hadronic and electron-ion collisions
  • Jets
  • Light and strange flavor physics & nuclei
  • New theoretical developments
  • Physics of ultraperipheral collisions
  • QCD matter in astrophysics
  • QCD phase diagram & critical point

Quark Matter 2025 consists of six days of scientific program, starting on Sunday, April 6th and ending on Saturday, September 12th. Support of early-career researchers (students and young postdocs) will be provided in the form of a reduction of the registration fee.

The deadline for early-bird registration is December 31st, 2024. For regular registration, it is January 31st, 2025.
