Machine learning is an important applied research area in particle physics, beginning with applications to high-level physics analysis the 1990s and 2000s, followed by explosion of event identification reconstruction 2010s. In this document we discuss promising future development areas machine a roadmap for their implementation, software hardware resource requirements, collaborative initiatives data science community, academia industry, training community science. The main objective connect...
The flavour changing neutral current decay b→sγ has been detected in hadronic Z decays collected by ALEPH at LEP. signal is isolated lifetime-tagged bb̄ events the presence of a hard photon associated with system high momentum and rapidity hadrons. background processes are normalised from data themselves. inclusive branching ratio measured to be(3.11±0.80stat±0.72syst)×10−4,consistent Standard Model expectation via penguin processes.
Previously published and as yet unpublished QCD results obtained with the ALEPH detector at LEP1 are presented. The unprecedented statistics allows detailed studies of both perturbative non-perturbative aspects strong interactions to be carried out using hadronic Z tau decays. presented include precise determinations coupling constant, tests its flavour independence, SU(3) gauge structure QCD, study coherence effects, measurements single-particle inclusive distributions two-particle...
RooStats is a project to create advanced statistical tools required for the analysis of LHC data, with emphasis on discoveries, confidence intervals, and combined measurements.The idea provide major techniques as set C++ classes coherent interfaces, so that can be used arbitrary model datasets in common way.The are built top RooFit package, which provides functionality easily creating probability models, combinations digital publications results.We will present detail design implementation...
Abstract This is a review of pseudorandom number generators (RNG’s) the highest quality, suitable for use in most demanding Monte Carlo calculations. All RNG’s we recommend here are based on Kolmogorov–Anosov theory mixing classical mechanical systems, which guarantees under certain conditions and asymptotic limits, that points trajectories these systems can be used to produce random sequences exceptional quality. We outline this establish criteria deciding sufficiently good approximations...
Two samples of exclusive semileptonic decays, 579 B0 →D∗+ℓ−νℓ events and 261 → D+ℓ−νℓ events, are selected from approximately 3.9 million hadronic Z decays collected by the ALEPH detector at LEP.

Machine learning has been applied to several problems in particle physics research, beginning with applications high-level analysis the 1990s and 2000s, followed by an explosion of event identification reconstruction 2010s. In this document we discuss promising future research development areas for machine physics. We detail a roadmap their implementation, software hardware resource requirements, collaborative initiatives data science community, academia industry, training community science....
This paper describes the activities performed by a working group formed with objective to support and develop mathematical software for high energy physics experiments of large hadron collider (LHC). The goal is share common libraries between LHC computing grid application area projects. We present various library components their design, particular emphasis on fitting minimization, describing new object oriented implementation in C++ MINUIT minimization package
Starting from a sample of four million hadronic Z decays collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, 404 charged and neutral B mesons are fully reconstructed used to look for resonant structure in Bπ system.
