CMS is a high-energy physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general-purpose detector that is designed to observe any new physics phenomena that the LHC might reveal. CMS acts as a giant, high-speed camera, taking 3D “photographs” of particle collisions from all directions up to 40 million times each second. The CMS collects few tens of Peta-Bytes of data each year and processes them through Worldwide LHC Computing Grid infrastructure around the globe.

The Lunar Occultation Explorer (LOX) is a lunar-orbiting nuclear astrophysics mission that will probe the Cosmos at MeV energies.

Lunar Prospector was the third mission selected by NASA for full development and construction as part of the Discovery Program. The 19-month mission was designed for a low polar orbit investigation of the Moon, including mapping of surface composition including polar ice deposits, measurements of magnetic and gravity fields, and study of lunar outgassing events. The mission ended July 31, 1999, when the orbiter was deliberately crashed into a crater near the lunar south pole, after the presence of water ice was successfully detected.

NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft orbited Mercury for more than four years. Among its accomplishments, the mission determined Mercury’s surface composition, revealed its geological history, discovered details about its internal magnetic field, and verified its polar deposits are dominantly water-ice. The mission ended when MESSENGER slammed into Mercury’s surface.

Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is an important aspect of every high-energy physics experiment needed to avoid taking low-quality data. The goal of DQM is to track important information about the detector and the data and catch problems in realtime. This monitoring happens both online and offline to ensure optimal operation of the experiment. The goal of the ML4DQML project is to use machine learning to aid human shifters with identification of anomalies to help make better decisions about the quality of the data.
