Motivation • (Disappearance) • e • s • The importance of numu/nue/NC separation • cannot be overemphasized
Goals • Use ANN techniques to classify/identify Neutrino Interactions on “event-by-event” basis using topological and physical characteristics of neutrino events derived from MC generated interactions: • CC νμ νe , NC (FD, ND) • QE, SP, DIS (???) • Classify electrons/hadrons/muons (CALDET) • Requirement: MC should be capable of describing very well the neutrino data.
PLAN • Monte Carlo CALDET events for ANN training • Comparative study of MC and data • Identify Discriminating variables • Develop ANN architectures • Produce output functions Need:Access to CALDET data + CALDET MC
(at present) Participants • Athens • Panos Stamoulis, GRA • Miltos Zois, GRA • George Houdalakis, Undergrad • Artemis Gerodimos, Undergrad • Dimitris Drakoulakos, RA • GST • Fermilab • Niki Saoulidou
