Summary
What is the nature of the Higgs particle and hence the fundamental principles of the Universe? Two main theories exist. And CERN's 27km accelerator is capable of delivering the answer. To do so requires that we tune our data analysis to give us the sharpest view on the hints that can reveal this. The aim of this project is to do exactly that, combining particle physics with machine learning.
