| Title | migYOLO |
| Description | migYOLO is a collection of software tools meant to serve as a companion to the MIGDAL collaboration paper: Transforming a rare event search into a not-so-rare event search in real-time with deep learning-based object detection. In the paper we highlight a YOLOv8-based pipeline designed for real time rare event search analyses on 2D high resolution images of particle tracks recorded by the Hamamatsu ORCA-Quest qCMOS camera readout of the MIGDAL detector. |
| Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | This has enabled the analysis in realtime of data obtained by the MIGDAL experiment in its search for a rare quantum mechanical effect. |

| Description | DMUK network |
| Organisation | Imperial College London |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | The Dark Matter UK (DMUK) network brings together UK researchers working on theoretical and experimental aspects of dark matter research. The network encourages collaboration between the members and has two meetings per year. As a result of the network, I have started to meet regularly with experimental physicists from UCL (monthly meetings). We are currently collaborating on a number of projects. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The network has led to significantly more discussions between the Imperial, Edinburgh and Oxford experimental groups with theory groups in London (KCL and Imperial), Oxford, Royal Holloway, Liverpool and Durham. The network holds meetings twice per year. I have been an organiser for the meeting in Bristol (January 2018), Durham (July 2018), King's College London (April 2019) and Manchester (October 2019). We are planning two meetings for 2020. |
