Novel data-processing techniques for signal extraction in Project 8

Project 8 presents a new modality of electron spectroscopy with the potential to exceed the resolution of the most precise electron spectrometers in operation today, potentially at much lower cost. Project 8, being a novel method, has different computational demands from existing experiments. This thesis explores the use of the Hough Transform as a tool in data processing in Project 8 and discusses its utility and function generally.
