Deep learning models aim to suppress carbon-14 noise in neutrino experiments

Researchers have developed three deep learning models, including a spatiotemporal graph neural network and two Transformer-based models, to identify and suppress photon hits from carbon-14 decays in liquid scintillator detectors. These models aim to improve the energy resolution in neutrino experiments by distinguishing between carbon-14 signals and actual event signals, particularly when they overlap in space and time. The proposed models achieved carbon-14 recall rates between 25% and 48% while maintaining a misidentification rate below 1% for electron positron events. AI

IMPACT Potential to improve data quality and resolution in sensitive scientific experiments by enhancing signal-to-noise ratios.

    Suppression of $^{14}\mathrm{C}$ photon hits in large liquid scintillator detectors via spatiotemporal deep learning

    arXiv:2603.27727v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Liquid scintillator detectors are widely used in neutrino experiments due to their low energy threshold and high energy resolution. Despite the tiny abundance of $^{14}$C in LS, the photons induced by the $\beta$ decay of …
