Low latency Edge AI for Physics searches at 40 MHz

Despite having analysed of over 300 inverse femtobarns of data from the CMS experiment at the LHC, no evidence for New Physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been found. Yet, the SM is understood to be an effective theory, and a more fundamental theory is expected at smaller scales. A major limitation of current searches is that only 0.02% of the total data produced by CMS is used for analysis, while nearly 99% of the data is discarded within microseconds by the trigger system, before it even leaves the underground experimental cavern. This discarded data, filtered based on known physics signatures, may contain exactly the kind of unconventional signals that current analyses miss. The…
