Finding linear correlations in the data of the nTOF facility

nTOF is a neutron time of flight facility located at CERN aimed to the study of neutron induced reactions. An high intensity neutron beam is produced from the reactions caused by an incoming proton pulse that hits a lead spallation target. The experimental area is located approximately 180m away from the spallation target. This flight path basically allows to compute the kinetic energy of the neutrons based their arrival time at the experimental area, allowing to fully characterize the produced neutron beam. The goals of this project are at least three: \begin{description} \item[Collecting the data] This part includes the retrieval of all the experimental data in a given temporal window specified at runtime. See sections \ref{sec:slow} and \ref{sec:fast} for details. \item[Find linear correlations] This part aims to find linear correlations between different measures, e.g. the proton intensity with the number of peaks recorded by a detector. This is discussed in section \ref{sec:correlations}. \item[Learn and report] The final aim of the application, learning the correlation patterns and report if something is going out of the normal ranges. \end{description}
