NPPS Leadership Team

[Torre Wenaus <wenaus AT gmail.com>]

Hi,

Last spring NPPS, CSI and external collaborators including JLab developed for the DOE HEP AI/ML call a proposal for large scale ML services and their application in experiments. It was turned down, but we're continuing to look for avenues to proceed with aspects of the work (the core of the work is part of our ATLAS program and so is proceeding that way). Meifeng Lin is our lead CSI collaborator, and Markus Diefenthaler at JLab. Meifeng and I asked Markus whether JLab might be interested in developing with us a re-focused proposal for this NP call. Markus is interested, and he tells us he discussed it with JLab management and they are interested as well. We plan a small meeting to discuss shortly after Thanksgiving. Comments appreciated, particularly if you think this is something we should *not* proceed with! The proposal from last spring is attached. Happy to discuss.

I'm looking for the most competitive proposals, wherever they come from.
NP did let us know they were disappointed with BNL at the last round.

>>> The DOE SC program in Nuclear Physics (NP) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research and development (R&D) efforts directed at artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for autonomous optimization and control of accelerators and detectors of relevance to current or next generation NP accelerator facilities and scientific instrumentation.
>>> The focus for this funding opportunity is to optimize the overall performance of complex accelerator and detector systems used for nuclear physics research using advanced computational methods with the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
>>> This funding opportunity seeks to advance data analytics for autonomous optimization and control of accelerators and detectors relevant to current- or next-generation of nuclear physics accelerator facilities. Specific areas of interests for this FOA are efficient extraction of critical and strategic information from large complex data sets, addressing the challenges of autonomous control and experimentation, enhancing the efficiency of operation of accelerators and scientific instruments, and AI applied to data reduction of large experimental data.
