DarkSide-PS: Search for the Dark Photon via Neutral Meson Decay at the T9 Beamline

RESEARCHPHYSICSBL4S

Shortlisted proposal for CERN's Beamline for Schools 2026 competition (Team "Ribera del Deuterium"). We designed an experiment to search for the Dark Photon (A') — a hypothetical mediator of a Dark Sector — through the exotic decay π⁰ → γA' at the PS T9 beamline. The setup features a tungsten target, a dipole magnetic spectrometer, Delay Wire Chambers for tracking, and a 4×4 ECAL, all simulated in Geant4. The proposal probes Dark Sector physics in the 100–150 MeV mass range, complementary to high-energy colliders.

Fairness is Not Flat: Geometric Phase Transitions Against Shortcut Learning

RESEARCHAIPAPER

A geometric method to fight shortcut learning in neural networks: a tiny single-neuron 'auditor' exposes the spurious features a model would otherwise exploit (like Capital-Gain in the Adult Census dataset), and pruning them forces the network into a higher-capacity regime where it learns fairer, merit-based decisions. The approach cuts counterfactual gender bias from 21.18% to 7.66%, outperforms L1 regularization, and runs at a fraction of the cost of methods like Just Train Twice.

Performance and Storage Analysis of CRYSTALS Kyber as a Post Quantum Replacement for RSA and ECC

RESEARCHCRYPTOPAPER

An analysis of the post-quantum algorithm CRYSTALS-Kyber, testing its speed and efficiency against RSA and ECC. The results show Kyber is significantly faster at key generation and shared secret derivation on standard CPUs (Intel and ARM), confirming it is a practical, immediate solution for the post-quantum era.
