Artificial Intelligence at the Electron Ion Collider
Research Group:
Nuclear Physics
The project is focused on the development of novel analysis tools based on Artificial Intelligence to enable new insights from both experimental and computational data while revolutionising the way high-level data analysis is currently done in nuclear and particle physics. Read more
Laser Driven Neutron Sources at High Repetition Rate
Despite the high demand for neutron sources in a wide range of applications from material science to health-care [1, 2], the number of accessible neutron sources has decreased in the last years due to the phasing out of nuclear research reactors. Read more
