Higgs Machine Learning Challenge In a nutshell (very simplified): we put on the web a simplified ntuple of Higgs to tau tau signal and background People (computer scientists but also undergrads, geeks…) execute their favourite classification technique (BDT and the like), submit their solution… …which is automatically ranked. When the challenge ends, the winner gets a prize The organisation committee was setup in november : ATLAS management and experts : Thorsten Wengler, Andreas Hoecker and Joerg Stelzer (TMVA), Glen Cowan (statistics), David Rousseau (tau tau analysis). Organisation side : Claire Adam (in contact with CERN outreach, communication, lawers), one contact from the kaggle company + an experienced challenge organisers in the US. Computer scientists in Laboratoire Recherche Informatique at Orsay : Cecile Germain, Balazs Kegl and one representative of the management. Status is essentially “work in progress” but for sure : The challenge will start in may and run through the summer An EP seminar will be given to advertise it, and winners will be invited at CERN to meet us. The challenge web page will have a link to an “outreach web page” presenting us. ATLAS Week - 11 Feb 2014S.

Comics Physics? ATLAS Week - 11 Feb 2014S. Goldfarb - ATLAS Outreach & Education 25 What is the negative zone and how does anti-matter fit into the creation? Could the negative zone exist in the real world? How does the Blue Marvel use anti- matter? In the comics, we say that he can store anti-matter and disperse it, but what does this mean? Could a being store anti- matter? If so, how could this happen? Coming soon…
