We contrasted the performance of deep neural networks - Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Graph (GNN) to current state art energy regression methods in a finely 3D-segmented calorimeter simulated by GEANT4. This comparative benchmark gives us some insight assess particular latent signals network exploit achieve superior resolution. A CNN trained solely on pure sample pions achieved substantial improvement resolution for both single jets over conventional approaches. It maintained good...
The fluctuations in energy loss to processes that do not generate measurable signals, such as binding losses, set the limit on achievable hadronic resolution traditional reconstruction techniques. correlation between number of interaction vertices a shower and invisible is found be strong used estimate fraction highly granular calorimeters short time intervals (<10 ns). We simulated images showers using GEANT4 deployed neural network analyze for regression. network-based approach results...
