Demonstration of background rejection using deep convolutional neural networks in the NEXT experiment

NEXT Collaboration, M. Kekic, C. Adams +88

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…

Sensitivity of the NEXT experiment to Xe-124 double electron capture

G. Martínez-Lema, M. Martínez-Vara, M. Sorel +88

Double electron capture by proton-rich nuclei is a second-order nuclear process analogous to double beta decay. Despite their similarities, the decay signature is quite different,…
