The algorithm is now relatively mature, with encouraging results on + both Run 2/3 data and HL-LHC simulation samples. Our current focus is on integrating PV-Finder into the + ATLAS Athena framework, validating its performance, and preparing the work for publication. + The project would involve: + - Assisting with the integration and validation of PV-Finder within the Athena framework. + - Performing timing and performance studies of the Athena implementation and comparing its performance with the current AMVF primary vertex finding algorithm. + - Contributing to validation studies on Run 2/3 and HL-LHC samples, including the production of performance plots and documentation. + - Investigating potential optimizations to reduce inference time and computational cost while maintaining physics performance. + +contacts: + - name: Rocky Bala Garg + email: rbgarg@stanford.edu + - name: Lauren Tompkins + email: laurenat@stanford.edu + - name: Michael Sokoloff + email: sokoloff@ucmail.uc.edu
