A Convolutional Neural Network for Multiple Particle Identification in the MicroBooNE Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber
MicroBooNE collaboration, P. Abratenko, M. Alrashed +184
We present the multiple particle identification (MPID) network, a convolutional neural network (CNN) for multiple object classification, developed by MicroBooNE. MPID provides the…
Modeling impurity concentrations in liquid argon detectors
Aiwu Zhang, Yichen Li, Craig Thorn +8
Impurities in noble liquid detectors used for neutrino and dark matter experiments can significantly impact the quality of data. We present an experimentally verified model for des…
Design and performance of a 35-ton liquid argon time projection chamber as a prototype for future very large detectors
