Reinforcement Learning Optimizes Real-Time Triggers at Large Hadron Collider

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel application of reinforcement learning (RL) for real-time event filtering at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). By adapting Group-Filtered Policy Optimization (GFPO) to streaming data, the RL agent can dynamically adjust trigger thresholds to maximize signal efficiency while maintaining a target background rate. This approach demonstrated significant improvements, increasing in-tolerance time by 56% for a transverse energy trigger and 28% for an anomaly detection trigger when applied to real CMS Run 283408 collision data, marking the first use of RL for trigger control in such an environment.
