AI Agents Can Already Autonomously Perform Experimental High Energy Physics
Large language model-based AI agents can autonomously execute substantial portions of a high energy physics analysis pipeline with minimal expert-curated input. Given access to a HEP dataset, an execution framework, and a corpus of prior experimental literature, Claude Code succeeds in automating all stages of a typical analysis. This breakthrough has significant implications for the field of physics and AI research. The ability of AI agents to perform complex tasks autonomously could lead to new discoveries and advancements in various fields. With the use of AI agents, physicists can focus on higher-level tasks and leave the tedious and time-consuming analysis to the machines.
