Application of Neural Networks to Classification of Data of the TUS Orbital Telescope

Abstract: We employ neural networks for classification of data of the TUS fluorescence telescope, the world’s first orbital detector of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We focus on two particular types of signals in the TUS data: track-like flashes produced by cosmic ray hits of the photodetector and flashes that originated from distant lightnings. We demonstrate that even simple neural networks combined with certain conventional methods of data analysis can be highly effective in tasks of classification of data of fluore… Show more

“…We have seen in [33] that an ANN trained on data with clearly pronounced signals is able to identify patterns with low signal-to-noise ratio. Such events are classified as false positives during tests but their closer analysis reveals that their considerable part contains "positive" signals that were not found by the conventional algorithm used to prepare training and testing datasets.…”

“…In [33], a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed to perform binary classification of two types of signals registered with the TUS telescope. The instrument had a focal surface of 16 × 16 pixels, and data arranged in 16 × 16 × T chunks worked well.…”

“…A totally different approach to the recognition of patterns produced by UV emission of EASs on the focal surface and to the reconstruction of parameters of primary UHECRs can be based on machine learning methods. A high efficiency of neural networks for identifying certain types of signals in the TUS data was demonstrated recently [61,62]. The first applications of neural networks to CR parameter reconstruction are also potentially interesting; see, e.g., [63][64][65].…”
