Machine Learning Methods Used to Control and Optimize the VENUS Ion Source

The superconducting ECR ion source VENUS is pictured with an AI-generated, cartoon, eight-armed computer that appears to be making adjustments to the source. Arms missing hands and the fact that the existing hands are all doing things not useful to source operation inspire questions of AI/ML’s readiness for either quality image generation or ion source operation.

New Technique Sheds Light on Chemistry at the Bottom of the Periodic Table

Two people in safety glasses hold glass beakers containing ball-and-stick models of nobelium molecules. They are surrounded by lab equipment that includes wires, foil-wrapped cables, metal apparatuses, and a computer screen showing data. Images of molecules are projected on the ceiling panels.

New Angles on Jet Scattering in the Quark-Gluon Plasma at RHIC and the LHC

Artist’s rendering of QGP formation in a nuclear collision at RHIC, in which a high-energy photon (purple line) and jet of correlated particles (cone) propagate back-to-back in the QGP. Jet scattering in the QGP broadens the distribution of their azimuthal opening angle.
