Abstract

In experimental nuclear and particle physics, the extraction of high-purity samples of rare events critically depends on the efficiency and accuracy of particle identification (PID). In this work, we present a PID method applied to HADES data at the level of fully reconstructed particle track candidates. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in PID performance compared to conventional techniques, highlighting the potential of physics-informed neural networks as a powerful tool for future data analyses.

List of changes

I have added a small remark stating that all figures are original works, as to the E-Mail request by SciPost querying whether Figure 1 was such. Furthermore, I have added more details on the actual Bethe-Bloch loss term which was the recommendation of the report obtained.
