Z boson events at the Large Hadron Collider can be selected with high purity and are sensitive to a diverse range of QCD phenomena. As a result, these events are often used to probe the nature of the strong force, improve Monte Carlo event generators, and search for deviations from standard model predictions. All previous measurements of Z boson production characterize the event properties using a small number of observables and present the results as differential cross sections in predetermined bins.

We introduce a deep learning architecture leveraging human perception of longitudinal variation of diffracted patterns of particles, which enables highly generalizable analysis of 3D particle information with orders of magnitude improvement in processing speed. Trained with minimal synthetic and real holograms of simple particles, our method demonstrates exceptional performance across various challenging cases, including high particle concentrations, significant noise, and a wide range of particle sizes, complex shapes, and optical properties, exceeding the diversity of training datasets.

The presence of these atmospheric-relevant compounds internally mixed with fission product compounds has the potential to affect the capacity of ambient particulates of aerosols to absorb water and function as CCN. Once in the atmosphere, the dynamics of airborne radionuclides and subsequently their fate gets affected by dry and wet deposition processes.

These factors make the lower leg and foot more susceptible to microbial infections, contact dermatitis, stasis eczema, ulcers, corns, and calluses.
Objective: To identify the patterns of infective and noninfective dermatoses on the lower leg and foot.
