Palavras-chave: | Dark Matter and Double Beta Decay (experiments) | Data: | Jan-2021 | Editora: | Springer Nature | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | Journal of High Energy Physics | Volume: | 2021 | Número: | 1 | Resumo: | Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used state-of-the-art computer vision tools that are becoming increasingly popular in high-energy physics. In this paper, we attempt to understand the potential of CNNs for event classification in the NEXT experiment, which will search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 136Xe. To do so, we demonstrate the usage of CNNs for the identification of electron-positron pair production events, which exhibit a topology similar to that of a neutrinoless double-beta decay event. These events were produced in the NEXT-White high-pressure xenon TPC using 2.6MeV gamma rays from a 228Th calibration source. We train a network on Monte Carlosimulated events and show that, by applying on-the-fly data augmentation, the network can be made robust against differences between simulation and data. The use of CNNs offers significant improvement in signal efficiency and background rejection when compared to previous non-CNN-based analyses. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/105043 | DOI: | 10.1007/JHEP01(2021)189 | Direitos: | openAccess |
