• The importance of numu/nue/NC separation

cannot be overemphasized

Goals

• Use ANN techniques to classify/identify Neutrino Interactions on “event-by-event” basis using topological and physical characteristics of neutrino events derived from MC generated interactions:

• CC νμ νe , NC (FD, ND)

• QE, SP, DIS (???)

• Classify electrons/hadrons/muons (CALDET)

• Requirement: MC should be capable of describing very well the neutrino data.

• Monte Carlo CALDET events for ANN training

• Comparative study of MC and data

• Identify Discriminating variables

• Develop ANN architectures

• Produce output functions

Need: Access to CALDET data + CALDET MC
