Abstract

In the past year, the NOvA experiment released results for the observation of neutrino oscillations in the νμ and νe channels as well as νe cross section measurements using neutrinos from Fermilab’s NuMI beam. These and other measurements in progress rely on the accurate identication and reconstruction of the neutrino avor and energy recorded by our detectors. This presentation describes the rst application of convolutional neural network technology for event identication and reconstruction in particle detectors such as NOvA. The Convolutional Visual Network (CVN) Algorithm was developed for identication, categorization, and reconstruction of NOvA events. It increased the selection efficiency of the νe appearance signal by 40% and studies show potential impact to the νμ disappearance analysis.
