Event reconstruction for KM3NeT/ORCA using convolutional neural networks

Understand

The KM3NeT research infrastructure is currently under construction at two locations in the Mediterranean Sea.

• The KM3NeT/ORCA water-Cherenkov neutrino detector off the French coast will instrument several megatons of seawater with photosensors.
• Its main objective is the determination of the neutrino mass ordering.
• This work aims at demonstrating the general applicability of deep convolutional neural networks to neutrino telescopes, using simulated datasets for the KM3NeT/ORCA detector as an example.
