What Machine Learning Can Do for Focusing Aerogel Detectors
Foma Shipilov Alexander Barnyakov Vladimir Bobrovnikov Sergey Kononov Fedor Ratnikov
Particle identification at the Super Charm-Tau factory experiment will be
provided by a Focusing Aerogel Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector (FARICH). The
specifics of detector location make proper cooling difficult, therefore a
significant number of ambient background hits are captured. They must be
mitigated to reduce the data flow and improve particle velocity resolution. In
this work we present several approaches to filtering signal hits, inspired by
machine learning techniques from computer vision.
