Scientists say they have created new techniques that deploy machine learning to significantly improve data analysis for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator.

"The methods we developed greatly enhance our discovery potential for new physics at the LHC," said Kyle Cranmer, a professor at the New York University (NYU) in the US.

Located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, the LHC is probing a new frontier in high-energy physics...

The study, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, offers the possibility for additional, pioneering discoveries.

"In many areas of science, simulations provide the best descriptions of a complicated phenomenon, but they are difficult to use in the context of data analysis," said Cranmer.
