34. DL In MicroBooNE

Taritree Wongjirad (Tufts University)

7/10/20, 10:45 AM

A collaboration/project summary talk

The MicroBooNE experiment consists of liquid argon time projection chamber(LArTPC) situated in the path of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. The goals of the experiment are to (1) investigate the observation of an excess of a possible electron-neutrino and anti-neutrino events by the MiniBooNE experiment, (2) measure argon-nucleus cross sections, and (3) perform R&D for LArTPCs. The...

5. Using Sparse Convolutional Neural Networks in MicroBooNE

Ran Itay (WEIZMANN INST.)

7/10/20, 11:25 AM

Individual talk

The MicroBooNE experiment employs a Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector to measure sub-GeV neutrino interactions from the muon neutrino beam produced by the Booster Neutrino Beamline at Fermilab. Neutrino oscillation measurements, such as those performed in MicroBooNE, rely on the capability to distinguish between different flavors of neutrino interactions. Deep...

10. A Convolutional Neural Network for Multiple Particle Identification in the MicroBooNE LArTPC

Rui An (Illinois Institute of Techonology)

7/10/20, 11:50 AM

Individual talk

MicroBooNE has accumulated data in a 1E21 POT neutrino beam over five years to test the excess of low energy electron neutrino-like events observed by MiniBooNE. To this end, we have explored the use of a new hybrid analysis chain that includes both conventional and machine learning reconstruction algorithms to identify events with the exclusive 1-proton-1-electron signal topology. The...
