Credit: CERN In November of 2014, in a first, unexpected move for the field of particle physics, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment—one of the main detectors in the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider—released to the public an immense amount of data, through a website called the CERN Open Data Portal. The data, recorded and processed throughout the year 2010, amounted to about 29 terabytes of information, yielded from 300 million individual collisions of high-energy protons within the CMS detector. The sharing of these data marked the first time any major particle collider experiment had released such an information cache to the general public. A new study by Jesse Thaler, an associate professor of physics at MIT and a long-time advocate for open access in particle physics , and his colleagues now demonstrates the scientific value of this move. In a paper published today in Physical Review Letters , the researchers used the CMS data to reveal, for the first time, a universal feature within jets of subatomic particles, which are produced when high-energy protons collide. Their effort represents the first independent, published analysis of the CMS open data . In our field of particle physics, there isn't the tradition of making data public, says Thaler. To actually get data publicly with no other restrictions—that's unprecedented. Part of the reason groups at the Large Hadron Collider and other particle accelerators have kept proprietary hold over their data is the concern that such data could be misinterpreted by people who may not have a complete understanding of the physical detectors and how their various complex properties may influence the data produced. The worry was, if you made the data public, then you would have people claiming evidence for new physics when actually it was just a glitch in how the detector was operating, Thaler says. I think it was believed that no one could come from the outside and do those corrections properly, and that some rogue analyst could claim existence of something that wasn't really there. This is a resource that we now have, which is new in our field, Thaler adds. I think there was a reluctance to try to dig into it, because it was hard. But our work here shows that we can understand in general how to use this open data, that it has scientific value, and that this can be a stepping stone to future analysis of more exotic possibilities. Thaler's co-authors are Andrew Larkoski of Reed College, Simone Marzani of the State University of New York at Buffalo, and Aashish Tripathee and Wei Xue of MIT's Center for Theoretical Physics and Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Seeing fractals in jets When the CMS collaboration publicly released its data in 2014, Thaler sought to apply new theoretical ideas to analyze the information. His goal was to use novel methods to study jets produced from the high-energy collision of protons. Protons are essentially accumulations of even smaller subatomic particles called quarks and gluons, which are bound together by interactions known in physics parlance as the strong force. One feature of the strong force that has been known to physicists since the 1970s describes the way in which quarks and gluons repeatedly split and divide in the aftermath of a high-energy collision. This feature can be used to predict the energy imparted to each particle as it cleaves from a mother quark or gluon. In particular, physicists can use an equation , known as an evolution equation or splitting function, to predict the pattern of particles that spray out from an initial collision, and therefore the overall structure of the jet produced. It's this fractal-like process that describes how jets are formed, Thaler says. But when you look at a jet in reality, it's really messy. How do you go from this messy, chaotic jet you're seeing to the fundamental governing rule or equation that generated that jet? It's a universal feature, and yet it has never directly been seen in the jet that's measured. Collider legacy In 2014, the CMS released a preprocessed form of the detector's 2010 raw data that contained an exhaustive listing of particle flow candidates, or the types of subatomic particles that are most likely to have been released, given the energies measured in the detector after a collision. The following year, Thaler published a theoretical paper with Larkoski and Marzani, proposing a strategy to more fully understand a complicated jet in a way that revealed the fundamental evolution equation governing its structure. This idea had not existed before, Thaler says. That you could distill the messiness of the jet into a pattern, and that pattern would match beautifully onto that equation—this is what we found when we applied this method to the CMS data. To apply his theoretical idea, Thaler examined 750,000 individual jets that were produced from proton collisions within the CMS open data. He looked to see whether the pattern of particles in those jets matched with what the evolution equation predicted, given the energies released from their respective collisions. Taking each collision one by one, his team looked at the most prominent jet produced and used previously developed algorithms to trace back and disentangle the energies emitted as particles cleaved again and again. The primary analysis work was carried out by Tripathee, as part of his MIT bachelor's thesis, and by Xue. We wanted to see how this jet came from smaller pieces, Thaler says. The equation is telling you how energy is shared when things split, and we found when you look at a jet and measure how much energy is shared when they split, they're the same thing. The team was able to reveal the splitting function, or evolution equation, by combining information from all 750,000 jets they studied, showing that the equation—a fundamental feature of the strong force—can indeed predict the overall structure of a jet and the energies of particles produced from the collision of two protons. While this may not generally be a surprise to most physicists, the study represents the first time this equation has been seen so clearly in experimental data. No one doubts this equation, but we were able to expose it in a new way, Thaler says. This is a clean verification that things behave the way you'd expect. And it gives us confidence that we can use this kind of open data for future analyses. Thaler hopes his and others' analysis of the CMS open data will spur other large particle physics experiments to release similar information, in part to preserve their legacies. Colliders are big endeavors, Thaler says. These are unique datasets, and we need to make sure there's a mechanism to archive that information in order to potentially make discoveries down the line using old data, because our theoretical understanding changes over time. Public access is a stepping stone to making sure this data is available for future use.

Exposing the QCD Splitting Function with CMS Open Data, Physical Review Letters (2017). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.132003 ABSTRACT The splitting function is a universal property of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which describes how energy is shared between partons. Despite its ubiquitous appearance in many QCD calculations, the splitting function cannot be measured directly, since it always appears multiplied by a collinear singularity factor. Recently, however, a new jet substructure observable was introduced which asymptotes to the splitting function for sufficiently high jet energies. This provides a way to expose the splitting function through jet substructure measurements at the Large Hadron Collider. In this Letter, we use public data released by the CMS experiment to study the two-prong substructure of jets and test the 1 → 2 splitting function of QCD. To our knowledge, this is the first ever physics analysis based on the CMS Open Data.

Yet our founder, William Barton Rogers, had nurtured ideas for this new Institute over more than 20 years. He wrote and spoke widely about the imperative of making scientific knowledge useful and of making the “useful arts” scientific. He anticipated that the integration of the theoretical with the practical could accelerate the development of America’s industry and economy. On April 10, 1861, the Governor of Massachusetts signed MIT’s charter. Two days later, the Civil War began. Rogers remained undaunted, even though MIT’s first students would not enroll for another four years. After the war, the Institute that Rogers founded quickly became a powerful mechanism for discovery and innovation. By teaching science and engineering as hands-on activities and by valuing practice as well as theory, and education as well as research, Rogers’ bold idea helped America design its future as an industrial powerhouse. While MIT faculty revolutionized teaching and pioneered research in fields from physics to architecture to chemical engineering, MIT graduates used science and engineering to transform daily practice in factories, railways, mines, shipyards, and laboratories across the country. Some led in their professions while championing a more egalitarian ideal of American education, such as architect Robert R. Taylor (1892), MIT’s first black graduate, whose vision still defines the campus of Tuskegee University, and chemist Ellen Swallow Richards (1873), MIT’s first woman graduate, who directed the first comprehensive water quality testing in America and pioneered the new field of ecology. Some graduates, like chemistry students A. D. Little (1885) and Pierre DuPont (1890), and aeronautical engineers Donald Douglas (1914) and James McDonnell (1925), went on to shape entirely new industries. By founding his new Institute on the vibrant interplay of exploration and creativity, Rogers had given the world a compelling model of an “innovation machine.” In another hour of national transformation during and following World War II, MIT again contributed powerful ideas that propelled our country’s future. The development of radar here at MIT made a decisive technological contribution to the war effort, and in the years that followed, the Institute became a preeminent example of a new engine for progress: the modern research university, fueled by federal investments in peer-reviewed technology and science, following the visionary blueprint of MIT’s Vannevar Bush (PhD 1916). The talent and ideas that flowed from MIT and other research universities helped fuel an enormously productive future, with decades of economic growth, the birth of new industries, countless medical advances, and the emergence of virtually all of the technologies that enable our modern quality of life. Today, as we face another period of potentially transformative change, I believe the MIT community again has a crucial role to play and an important calling. We can demonstrate to the nation and the world that progress is possible against the great problems of today and tomorrow—energy, climate, water, poverty, megacities, disease—through science and technology deeply informed by wise policy and pursued headlong with the can-do culture of MIT. We can set a path toward a new future for American manufacturing, through innovative systems, processes, and materials. Building on our entrepreneurial spirit, we can deliver the innovators and innovations that will drive the next wave of economic growth. And MIT can inspire the next generation of young people, of every background, to understand that science, math, and engineering can give them the exhilarating power to participate, not passively as spectators and consumers, but as the active explorers, entrepreneurs, and inventors who will design the future. In short, once again we can and will produce the kind of powerful new ideas our nation needs. We will do so by building on MIT’s core strengths: our tradition of practical optimism, our appetite for tackling demanding problems with hard work, and our unbounded curiosity and steady confidence, built on bedrock standards of excellence and rigor.
