Livolsi, Edoardo: From Welding Sparks to Collider Resonances - A Structural Demonstration of Event--Object Misclassification in High-Energy Physics

This work investigates the structural relationship between macroscopic plasma spark events generated by industrial welding systems and particle-like signatures reconstructed in high-energy collider experiments. The central objective is to demonstrate that highly organized detector signa- tures, including reconstructed trajectories, resonance-like peaks, apparent decay channels, and statistically signicant event clustering, can emerge from purely non- stationary collective plasma dynamics without
