Adversarial Robustness of Time-Series Classification for Crystal Collimator Alignment

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.06289v1 Announce Type: cross In this paper, we analyze and improve the adversarial robustness of a convolutional neural network (CNN) that assists crystal-collimator alignment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by classifying a beam-loss monitor (BLM) time series during crystal rotation. We formalize a local robustness property for this classifier under an adversarial threat model based on real-world plausibility.
