Theia is a proposed 25-100 kiloton multi-purpose neutrino detector using novel target materials and advanced light detection techniques to address a wide range of neutrino and rare event physics. Key to this is the ability to separate scintillation and Cherenkov light using high-precision timing photo-sensors. Water-based-liquid-scintillator (WBLS) can be used to optimise the relative ratio...
The field of experimental neutrino physics has entered an era of high precision measurements. In order to capture the details of neutrino interactions, high resolution particle imaging detectors, such as time projection chambers, have been developed. However, the analysis of images containing highly detailed particle trajectories and a large number of pileups remains challenging. Deep learning...
Particle imaging detectors such as Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers offer high resolution imaging of charged particle trajectories. They are used and will be used in current and future neutrino experiments to maximize physics output from neutrino interactions. In order to understand the physics behind the neutrino-nucleus interactions, which remain poorly known today, the SLAC machine...
High resolution particle imaging detectors can record full details of charged particle interactions, and opens a door to high precision neutrino oscillation measurements. In order to maximize the physics output, however, development of high quality data reconstruction techniques is critical. One of the challenging data reconstruction task is clustering of pixels to identify individual...
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) offers high resolution (~3mm/pixel) 2D or 3D imaging of charged particles' trajectories. Deep neural networks (DNN) have been successfully applied to the data reconstruction of LArTPC. At SLAC we are building an end-to-end 3D LArTPC data reconstruction chain of algorithms, specifically designed for sparse LArTPC data. However LArTPCs come in two...
