Article:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Development of AI-Enabled Pixel Detectors<\/strong>: Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are creating advanced AI-enabled pixel detectors to analyze particle-collision data directly at the source.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real-Time Data Processing<\/strong>: The aim is to identify and capture important signals from the vast data produced by modern accelerators, enabling faster, more informed discoveries in particle physics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project NEUROPix<\/strong>: The initiative is called NEUROPix, standing for neuromorphic computing for pixel detectors, and it recently secured a three-year award through the Department of Energy\u2019s High Energy Physics program.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spiking Neural Networks<\/strong>: The ORNL team is utilizing spiking neural networks, a form of neuromorphic computing inspired by the human brain, to identify patterns and extract valuable signatures in real time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Close Deployment of Intelligence<\/strong>: The goal is to deploy intelligence near the detector to sort or compress data quickly and retain only the most important information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Overload Solution<\/strong>: ORNL physicist Mathieu Benoit highlighted the challenge of data overload in accelerators, emphasizing the need to process data immediately within the instruments themselves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Application to Other Instruments<\/strong>: This method, based on real-time data processing using AI, has the potential to benefit other data-intensive scientific instruments beyond particle physics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Funding Support<\/strong>: The project receives funding and support from the Department of Energy&#8217;s High Energy Physics program to further develop this innovative approach to data analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial intelligence comes to particle detectors through NEUROPix
