Software for building digital twins of distributed data centers


Dear Colleagues!
The employees of our Laboratory have developed and registered a software package for creating digital twins (DC) of distributed centers for collecting, storing and processing data (RDPC). The uniqueness of this program is that the DCs created with its help effectively monitor the work of the RDC in terms of data flows and related tasks. According to the developers, the created software is proposed to be used primarily in the design and operation of computing infrastructures for physical experiments.

The digital twin of the data center is a virtual copy of the data center that shows how it works in any possible scenario. The software package for the creation of a digital document, developed at LIT, has no analogues yet. “At present, there are programs in the world to create digital twins, but they all reflect the data center from the point of view of engineering infrastructure: how electricity works, how air flows, and so on,” says Daria Pryakhina, a researcher at LIT JINR. - "We have developed a software package that will create twins that reproduce the processes of receiving, collecting, transmitting, storing data and processing it. Such twins will be especially useful when... read more...

The VisualGeoKinFit procedure for kinematic fitting as part of the reconstructed film information processing on photographs of bubble chambers is presented. Photographs of 1-meter hydrogen and 2-meter propane chambers, which were obtained in the measurement sessions of the 60s–90s of the 20th century at JINR, are considered. Photos are digitized on a desktop scanner. Spatial coordinates are reconstructed using the VisualMetro program. Kinematic fitting is performed both immediately after the measurement of the next event and in bulk for all previously measured events.

Polynomial approximation of the magnetic field for track detector


We offer to your attention a preprint “Polynomial approximation of the magnetic field for track detector” (P1-2023-20) issued by the JINR Publishing Department.
The authors: Rikhvitsky V. S. (MLIT JINR), Belyaev A. V. (VBLHEP JINR) .

The magnetic field of the 1-meter hydrogen bubble chamber at LHE JINR was measured in 1971. In the programs for the geometric reconstruction of physical events, these data were used to calculate the field at arbitrary points in space using linear interpolation methods.

It is convenient to approximate the measured magnetic field by polynomials, which makes it possible to exploit the connections imposed by the magnetic field equations. The method of least squares is used to construct basic polynomials that satisfy the Laplace equation. The proposed method for constructing the basis was implemented and used in a number of programs for processing experimental data obtained on track detectors.

The presented method can be applied not only to bubble chambers, where the... read more...

Refinement of Optical Constants for Bubble Chambers


We offer to your attention a preprint “Refinement of Optical Constants for Bubble Chambers” (P10-2023-19) issued by the JINR Publishing Department.
The authors: Belyaev A. V. (VBLHEP JINR), Rikhvitsky V. S. (MLIT JINR).

At JINR, on the new software and hardware complex, the film information processing (FIP) for bubble chambers (1-meter hydrogen and 2-meter propane) was restored, which was obtained in the measurement sessions of the 60–90s of the 20th century at JINR. During the restoration, inaccuracies were found in the spatial reconstruction of the points. A minimization algorithm has been found that refines the “optical constants” of photographic lenses and their location in the common Cartesian coordinate system of cameras.

Visit of the Dubna SCC delegation to JINR


On 19 April 2023, the Meshcheryakov Laboratory of Information Technologies hosted specialists of the Dubna Satellite Communications Center (SCC), the largest teleport in Russia and Eastern Europe.

MLIT Scientific Leader V.V. Korenkov welcomed the delegation and briefly spoke about the major directions of MLIT’s activities, including the JINR Multifunctional Information and Computing Complex (MICC); special attention was paid to the development stages of JINR external communications. Cooperation between MLIT and the Dubna SCC started in the late 1980s. This stage of collaboration resulted in the creation of the first satellite communication channel between the Dubna SCC and the HEPNET network node in Gran Sasso (Italy), which allowed JINR users to begin working with CERN and other centers using Internet protocols. The next stage of our cooperation led to the creation of an optical communication channel JINR - Dubna SCC - Shabolovka and connection to the RBNet global network. In 1997, the bandwidth of this channel was 2 Mbps; in 2001, it was 622 Mbps; in 2005, it reached 2... read more...

Online platform for plant disease detection


In 2017, a team of researchers of the Laboratory of Information Technologies JINR won a grant of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) to develop a comprehensive system for detecting plant diseases based on images and text descriptions.

The team has designed a platform pdd.jinr.ru that they continue developing up to the present day. It has several user entry points and implements a collection of models. Processing a user request, the algorithm first uses a general model for diseases and pests. Afterwards, the neural network determines the type of the plant. Provided that there is a model for this crop, a user will also get a personal prediction in addition to the general one. “Responding to a user request, the platform displays the three closest classes to the uploaded image. Thus, in most cases, it makes it possible to correctly recognise the disease and get treatment suggestions,” a MLIT JINR leading programmer, a co-author of the research Alexander Uzhinskiy informed.

At present, the pdd.jinr.ru platform includes models for 19 agricultural and ornamental crops: barberry, grape, cherry, blueberry, strawberry, corn, cucumber, pepper, wheat, currant, tomato,... read more...

Search for New Charged Particle in Mass Interval 2–100 MeV - preprint


We offer to your attention a preprint “Search for New Charged Particle in Mass Interval 2–100 MeV” (P1-2022-62) published by the JINR Publishing Department. The authors: Anikina M. Ch., Nikitin V. A., Rikhvitskiy V. S.

The regularity of the e, μ, τ lepton mass distribution is proposed, indicating the possibility of the existence of a new state (“heavy” electron) with a mass of ∼ 8 MeV. To search for it, ∼ 55 thousand stereo photos from the 2-m propane bubble chamber were scanned. The chamber is exposed in a 10-GeV proton beam at the JINR Synchrophasotron. The events of the γ-quantum conversion into a pair of charged particles are analyzed. 47 anomalous events were found in which one particle of the pair stops in the volume of the chamber, has an increased track density at the end of the range and, upon identification, detects a mass of ∼ 8 MeV. The average value of the mass of the new particle is (8.6 ± 3.0) MeV.

The investigation has been performed at the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics, JINR.... read more...

CERN Seminar - 5.04.2023


Dear colleagues,
on Wednesday, April 5, at 12:00, a seminar "Hyperparameter Optimization for Deep Learning Models Using High Performance Computing" by Eric Wulff will be held at CERN.
Eric Wulff is a fellow in the IT department at CERN and Task Leader for the use-case on LHC collision event reconstruction at the European Center of Excellence in Exascale Computing (CoE RAISE). His experience includes large-scale distributed training and hyperparameter optimization of DL algorithms on supercomputers and using quantum computing for ML/DL-based algorithms. Prior to joining CERN, Eric was a Machine Learning Engineer at Axis Communications, where he worked on object detection and video analytics using deep learning techniques.
Abstract:
In the past decade, Machine Learning (ML), and in particular Deep Learning (DL), has outperformed traditional rule-based algorithms on a wide variety of tasks, such as for instance image recognition, object detection and natural language processing. In CoE RAISE, we have additionally seen that ML can unlock new potential in fields such as high energy physics (HEP), remote sensing, seismic imaging, additive manufacturing, and acoustics. Training DL models, however, is no... read more...
