Fast muon simulation in the JUNO experiment with neural networks
EPJ Web of Conferences(2024)
摘要
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) experiment is set to begin data taking in 2024 with the aim of determining the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) to a significance of 3 σ after 6 years of data taking. Achieving this goal requires effective background suppression, with the background induced by cosmic-ray muons being one of the most significant sources of interference in the NMO study. Accurately simulating the cosmic-ray muon background is crucial for the success of the experiment, but the sheer number of optical photons produced by the muon makes this detector simulation process extremely time-consuming using traditional methods such as Geant4. This paper presents a fast muon simulation method that employs neural networks to expedite the simulation process. Our approach achieves an order-of-magnitude speed-up in simulation time compared to Geant4, while still producing accurate results.
