Neural network approach to parton distributions fitting
arXiv:hep-ph/0509067 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2005.11.206
Abstract
We will show an application of neural networks to extract information on the structure of hadrons. A Monte Carlo over experimental data is performed to correctly reproduce data errors and correlations. A neural network is then trained on each Monte Carlo replica via a genetic algorithm. Results on the proton and deuteron structure functions, and on the nonsinglet parton distribution will be shown.
