Library Science Talk – Smashing Particles & Crunching Data: How CERN Uses AI to Explore the Frontiers of Physics
Deep beneath the Swiss-French border, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN smashes protons together at nearly the speed of light to probe the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Each collision produces a shower of particles — and a flood of data. In fact, the LHC generates tens of thousands of exabytes of raw data every year, far more than can be stored or analyzed directly.
To make discoveries like the Higgs boson possible, scientists rely on advanced AI and machine learning systems, combined with cutting-edge hardware, to sift through millions of events per second in real time. These tools help identify rare and valuable signals hidden in a sea of noise.
In this talk, Dr. Thea Aarrestad will offer an inside look at how physicists and engineers use AI to push the limits of data, speed, and precision in one of the most ambitious scientific experiments ever undertaken.
