Based on the established task of identifying boosted, hadronically decaying top quarks, we compare a wide range modern machine learning approaches. Unlike most methods they rely low-level input, for instance calorimeter output. While their network architectures are vastly different, performance is comparatively similar. In general, find that these new approaches extremely powerful and great fun.
Recent literature on deep neural networks for tagging of highly energetic jets resulting from top quark decays has focused image based techniques or multivariate approaches using high-level jet substructure variables. Here, a sequential approach to this task is taken by an ordered sequence constituents as training inputs. Unlike the majority previous approaches, strategy does not result in loss information during pixelisation calculation high level features. The classification method...
Multivariate techniques based on engineered features have found wide adoption in the identification of jets resulting from hadronic top decays at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Recent Deep Learning developments this area include treatment calorimeter activation as an image or supplying a list jet constituent momenta to fully connected network. This latter approach lends itself well use Recurrent Neural Networks. In work applicability architectures incorporating Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)...
The CDF II level 1 track trigger system reconstructs charged tracks in the plane transverse to beam direction. electronics uses hit data from 4 axial layers of central outer tracking chamber, and has been recently upgraded include complementary information 3 stereo layers. Together with existing it provides improved fake rejection at 1. In addition, high resolution segment is delivered Level 2 processors, where software algorithms perform three-dimensional reconstruction. 3D-tracks are...

We present searches for pair-production of fourth generation tprime quarks in their decays to Wq. analyse 4.6 fb-1 and 4.3 data collected by the CDF D0 detectors, respectively, at Fermilab Tevatron collider a centre-of-mass energy sqrt s = 1.96 TeV. reconstruct mass heavy quark perform two-dimensional-fit observed (HT, Mreco) distributions discriminate new physics signal from standard model backgrounds. As no significant excess events is observed, we exclude fourth-generation with below 335...
We briefly present the eXtremely Fast Tracker stereo track upgrade for CDF Level 2 trigger system. This enabled full 3D reconstruction at of 3-Level online triggering Using information provided by layers Central Outer Tracker, we can decrease rate due to fake tracks requiring be consistent with a single vertex in all three dimensions but also using "point" various detector components. will discuss effectiveness algorithm achieving reduced rates high efficiencies during luminosity running.
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <?Pub Dtl=""?>The CDF II detector uses dedicated hardware to identify charged tracks that are used in an important class of level 1 trigger decisions. Until now, this identified track segments based on patterns hits only the axial sense wires tracking chamber and determined transverse momentum candidates from segments. This identification is efficient but produces rates grow rapidly with...
We present recent results on top quark pair production cross section and forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron. Three new measurements from CDF one measurement DO are presented that utilize full dataset available.
