Machine Learning Enhances Nuclear Physics Event Classification

Researchers have applied machine learning models, including ResNet and VGG, to classify events in nuclear physics experiments involving the 12C + 12C reaction using the MATE-TPC. These models achieved high accuracies, around 97% for simulated data and 90% for experimental data, outperforming traditional methods in identifying certain events. Additionally, a CNN model was developed for reaction vertex reconstruction, demonstrating the effectiveness of ML techniques in analyzing complex nuclear reaction data and paving the way for future research.
