Pulse Shape Discrimination of Fast Neutron Background using Convolutional Neural Network for NEOS II

NEOS II Collaboration, Y. Jeong, B. Y. Han +19

Pulse shape discrimination plays a key role in improving the signal-to-background ratio in NEOS analysis by removing fast neutrons. Identifying particles by looking at the tail of…

The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW 170817

E. Troja, L. Piro, H. van Eerten +31

A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions- or mergers- of two neutron stars (NSs) form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) powering gamma-ray burst…
