Dr John Marshall and Dr John Back are working as part of the to further the development of the software. They are developing algorithms to interpret highly-complex images of neutrino interactions in the detectors that will be deployed for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, Their software uses a careful blend of sophisticated clustering algorithms and machine-learning approaches.

The Pandora software aims to provide an automated approach to reconstruct what happened in neutrino interactions, and so help unlock the One of the defining features of DUNE will be its cutting-edge detectors, and the role of pattern recognition and machine learning is becoming more important to interpret the detector outputs. Under the AIDAinnova programme, Dr Marshall and Dr Back are adapting the Pandora software specifically for use at the

Dr Marshall says 鈥淭hrough AIDAinnova, we鈥檙e collaborating with other teams across Europe: to develop software for future detectors, and to help include the Pandora software in a reusable 鈥渢urnkey鈥� software stack, designed for easy use at future particle physics experiments.鈥�

AIDAinnova is co-ordinated through CERN. The U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Fermilab is the host laboratory for DUNE, in partnership with funding agencies and more than  from all over the globe.

Nano-scale co-axial cables - heteronanotubes - can now be created from different semiconducting materials, offering the possibility of active nano-scale wires that absorb light efficiently and are also highly conductive. Our recent work uncovers the unique way in which infrared light is absorbed in the central core of a heteronanotube, altering the amount of visible light absorbed by the outer skin. This contrasts to the traditional picture of light absorption in semiconductors, where a photon of light is only absorbed if its energy is above a critical energy - the bandgap - of the material.

The recently finished Knowledge Transfer Partnership led by Professor Steven Brown from our NMR group funded by Innovate UK in partnership with AstraZeneca to improve pharmaceutical product quality and manufacturing processes has been graded as outstanding!
