Beam-induced background identification with image vision techniques at ATLAS

At the LHC the interaction between the proton beam and the residual gas in the beam pipes originates secondary particles which, in the case of high-energy muons, are able to cross longitudinally the ATLAS detector and leave jet-like signatures in the calorimeter. Many new physics searches are affect...

Sumario:At the LHC the interaction between the proton beam and the residual gas in the beam pipes originates secondary particles which, in the case of high-energy muons, are able to cross longitudinally the ATLAS detector and leave jet-like signatures in the calorimeter. Many new physics searches are affected by this beam-induced background. This study shows new ideas, based on image vision techniques, to suppress this source of background.
