Reconstructing Proton-Proton Collision Positions at the Large Hadron Collider with D-Wave
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) circulates counter-rotating beams of protons in closely packed bunches that cross at designated interaction points. Particle physics apparatuses at these interaction points detect particles created at each proton-proton (p-p) collision and are used to reconstruct physics at the TeV energy scale. We use the D-Wave 2000Q to perform this reconstruction on artificial events where the positions of p-p collisions and tracks are drawn from measured LHC distributions.
