Precise vertex reconstruction is essential for large liquid scintillator detectors. A novel method based on machine learning has been successfully developed to reconstruct the event vertex in JUNO previously. In this paper, the performance of machine learning based vertex reconstruction is further improved by optimizing the input images of the neural networks. By separating the information of different types of PMTs as well as adding the information of the second hit of PMTs, the vertex resolution is improved by about 9.4 % at 1 MeV and 9.8 % at 11 MeV, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
