Název anglicky / Title English: Machine learning application for the Electron Ion Collider

Osnova / Outline:
The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is planned to address fundamental questions on internal structure of protons and nuclei as well as on many aspects of electromagnetic and nuclear forces [1]. One of key features of the EIC is its ability to detect electrons scattered at very small angles [2]. In such a case the detection and reconstruction requires the use of machine learning methods.

The thesis will focus on introduction to the methods, their testing in detector simulations [3] and potential further development. The course of the thesis will be coordinated with a dedicated working group within the EIC project.
