The 0vββ AI Summer School (a.k.a. Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay AI Summer School) is a satellite event of Neutrino 2026 designed to introduce AI/ML to students and postdocs with no prior experience. Departing from traditional lecture-heavy formats, our program prioritizes hands-on experience.
Our primary goal is for every participant to develop a working neural network model that they can take home and integrate into their own research. To achieve this, we have facilitated open data releases from leading 0vββ experiments: CUORE, KLZ, LEGEND, nEXO, NEXT, SNO+. Participants will select a dataset from one of these experiments and build their own models through a combination of hybrid lectures, hands-on tutorials, and collaborative discussions.
This event will take place the weekend of June 20–21. Lectures will occur in the mornings. Afterwards, we will hold a hands-on coding session with coffee and snacks. Physicists with AI expertise will be available to provide hands-on help with model building. Following the working session on Sunday, we will host a roundtable discussion to brainstorm new AI ideas that participants can apply to their own experiments.
Registration Has Closed
The summer school will take place on the campus of UC Irvine Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB), Colloquium 1200.
