“…This approach is particularly effective at topological signal/background discrimination in Xe time projection chambers (TPCs) for 0νββ [245], including NEXT [246,247], nEXO [248,249], and PandaX-III [250], as well as the KamLAND-Zen 0νββ scintillator experiment [251] and even nuclear emulsion DM searches [252]. 2D detector hit patterns have also been used directly as inputs to CNNs, fully-connected networks, or Bayesian optimization methods [253] for more precise position reconstruction in noble element TPCs, such as EXO-200 [254], XENON1T [255], and the Ar-based DarkSide DM experiments [256,257].…”
