Vertex Identification in High Energy Physics Experiments

 Gideon Dror, Halina Abramowicz and David Horn
  
 

Abstract:
In High Energy Physics experiments one has to sort through a high flux of events, at a rate of tens of MHz, and select the few that are of interest. In making this decision one relies on the location of the vertex where the interaction, that led to the event, took place. Here we present a solution to this problem, based on two feedforward neural networks with fixed architectures, whose parameters are chosen so as to obtain a high accuracy. The system is tested on many data sets, and is shown to perform better than commonly used algorithms.
