New opportunities for kaonic atoms measurements from CdZnTe detectors
We present the tests performed by the SIDDHARTA-2 collaboration at the DA{\Phi}NE collider with a quasi-hemispherical CdZnTe detector. The very good room-temperature energy resolution and efficiency in a wide energy range show that this detector technology is ideal for studying radiative transitions in intermediate and heavy-mass kaonic atoms. The CdZnTe detector was installed for the first time in an accelerator environment to perform tests on the background rejection capabilities, which were achieved by exploiting the SIDDHARTA-2 Luminosity Monitor. A spectrum with an $^{241}Am$ source has been acquired, with beams circulating in the main rings, and peak resolutions of 6% at 60 keV and of…
HEp-2 intensity classification based on deep fine-tuning
The classification of HEp-2 images, conducted through Indirect ImmunoFluorescence (IIF) gold standard method, in the positive / negative classes, is the first step in the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. Since the test is often difficult to interpret, the research world has been looking for technological features for this problem. In recent years the methods of deep learning have overcome the other machine learning techniques in their effectiveness and robustness, and now they prevail in artificial intelligence studies. In this context, CNNs have played a significant role especially in the biomedical field. In this work we analysed the capabilities of CNN for fluorescence classification of…
