4. Summary of Machine Learning Applications for the COHERENT Collaboration

Jacob Daughhetee (University of Tennessee)

14/07/2020, 13:00

A collaboration/project summary talk

The COHERENT collaboration utilizes a suite of detectors to search for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) and associated backgrounds at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Measurement of the low-energy nuclear recoil signature of CEvNS events necessitates the identification and rejection of environmental and detector-intrinsic backgrounds....

2. A Machine Learning Approach to Study the Neutrino Charged-current Interaction on 127I

Mr Peibo An (Duke University)

Individual talk

An inclusive measurement of the cross section of the neutrino charged-current interactions on 127I will help study the quenching of gA , the axial-vector coupling constant, which determines the rate of neutrinoless double beta decays. At the Los Alamos Meson Production Facility (LAMPF), an exclusive measurement was made but with a large statistical error. To make an inclusive and more accurate...

18. Machine Learning Techniques in Event Reconstruction and Classification for Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy Signals in Project 8

Mr Luis Saldaña (Yale University)

14/07/2020, 14:05

A collaboration/project summary talk

Project 8 is developing Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) on the beta-decay spectrum of tritium for the measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale. CRES is a frequency-based technique that aims to probe the endpoint in the tritium energy spectrum with a final sensitivity of 0.04 eV. Current studies are performed on monoenergetic electrons from a gaseous...

30. The deep learning frontiers of KamLAND-Zen

Aobo Li (Boston University)

A collaboration/project summary talk

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (0νββ) is one of the major research thrusts in neutrino physics. The discovery of 0νββ would answer persistent puzzles in the standard model. KamLAND-Zen experiment is one of the leading efforts in the search of 0νββ. The current data is collected from 745kg of Xe136 dissolved in liquid scintillator, a medium that emits isotropic light when particles deposit...
