Signal Induction Simulation for Frontier Gaseous and Solid-State Detectors with Resistive Elements
/ Janssens, Djunes (speaker) (CERN)
An increasing number of modern detector designs incorporate materials with finite conductivity to achieve various objectives, including enhanced robustness, improved spatial precision, and operation at high fluences. Notable examples can be found within the Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector (MPGD), Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC), and solid-state sensor families—including resistive Micromegas, µRWELL, Resistive Silicon Detectors (RSDs or AC-LGADs), and 3D Diamond sensors [...]

Web for the win! A crash course in building web apps
/ Coldstream, George (speaker)
Abstract/Description:
"Welcome to web dev 101! In this lecture we will go over the fundamentals (HTML, CSS, JS), tooling, overview of common UI libraries and frameworks, teach you the fundamentals of React development and testing, tldr user experience design, APIs, highlight modern features such as web assembly and WebGL.
Development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are often serious and timely undertaking, throughout all the different phases from the requirement gathering, design, user experience to the complexities of cross platform development with native GUI libraries. Web apps to the rescue!
Building web apps can help speed up this process and provide a platform agnostic interface for your software, which can run locally or remotely [...]

On equivariance and explainability
/ Iversen, Kaare Endrup (speaker) (Lund University (SE))
Permutation equivariant and Lorentz invariant neural networks have garnered the attention of the ML community at large for a while now, finding particular success in cases where symmetries in the data space can be exploited to overcome issues of low statistics and constraints on training time or model size. In high energy physics, however, neither problem is common to us: due to the inherent probabilistic nature of our experiments, we can simulate datasets that would excite even the most ingrained OpenAI engineer, and our computational power is on a vastly different scale compared to the average ML enthusiast.
The main strength of equivariant networks in our field lies in a different aspect, in fact, one of the main aspects that had the HEP community hesitant to adopt ML solutions in the first place, namely that of explainability. [...]

Exotic Hadrons
from Hidden Charm to Doubly Charmed Mesons
/ Maiani, Luciano (speaker) (Sapienza Universita e INFN, Roma I (IT))
In 1964, proposing quarks to describe the known mesons and baryons as (q\bar q) and (qqq) states, Murray Gell-Mann suggested the possible existence of further meson and baryon configurations: tetraquarks (qq \bar q\bar q) and pentaquarks (qqqq \bar q). The first unexpected hadron, the X(3872), was discovered by BELLE in 2003, confirmed by BABAR and seen in many other High Energy experiments. [...]

Efficient Workflow Management in High-Energy Physics
/ Verstege, Cedric (speaker) (KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (DE))
In high-energy physics (HEP), efficient workflow management is crucial for processing large datasets, running simulations, and managing computational jobs across distributed environments. This lecture introduces Luigi, a workflow management tool originally developed at Spotify that helps automate and scale complex task pipelines, ensuring dependency resolution and fault tolerance.
Building on Luigi, Law (**L**uigi **a**nalysis **w**orkflow) provides additional abstractions for HEP workflows by incorporating diverse batch job submission systems, like HTCondor, and different execution environments. [...]

Illuminating the dark side of statistics: Bayesian inference in particle physics
/ Gartner, Lorenz (speaker) (LMU)
High energy physics (HEP) has historically favoured frequentist statistical methodologies, leading to the development of analysis workflows and tools optimized around this paradigm. Frequentist techniques, such as those embedded in the HistFactory statistical model, have become standard in particle physics, often utilizing asymptotic approximations for efficient parameter estimation and hypothesis testing.
