用自编码器潜空间统一处理多类型探测器数据,提升宇宙射线能量重建精度。

Analysis of the TAIGA-HiSCORE Data Using the Latent Space of Autoencoders

  • 用自编码器潜空间替代传统经验参数,保留物理信息。
  • 潜空间维度影响精度,但整体重建效果优于传统方法。
  • 适合高能物理、宇宙射线研究者,尤其关注多模态数据融合。

广域簇射(EAS)分析的目标是重构引发簇射的原初粒子物理参数。TAIGA实验是混合探测系统,结合多个成像切伦科夫望远镜(IACTs)与非成像切伦科夫探测器阵列(TAIGA-HiSCORE)进行EAS探测。由于不同探测器类型信号物理性质差异大,直接合并数据不可行,导致多模态分析复杂。目前对IACTs和TAIGA-HiSCORE数据的分析依赖于各探测器特定的辅助参数,这些参数为经验选取,无法保证保留全部关键信息或最优适配问题。本文提出使用自编码器(AE)分析TAIGA实验数据,以AE潜空间参数替代传统辅助参数。潜空间参数的优势在于无需先验假设即可保留实验数据中的核心物理信息,并具备实现IACT与HiSCORE数据无缝融合的潜力。通过独立的人工神经网络,从AE潜空间重构原初粒子参数。本文基于TAIGA-HiSCORE的蒙特卡洛模拟数据,利用该方法重构原初粒子能量,分析了潜空间维度对能量重建精度的影响,并与传统技术结果对比。结果显示,采用AE潜空间时,原初粒子能量可被准确重建。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The aim of extensive air shower (EAS) analysis is to reconstruct the physical parameters of the primary particle that initiated the shower. The TAIGA experiment is a hybrid detector system that combines several imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) and an array of non-imaging Cherenkov detectors (TAIGA-HiSCORE) for EAS detection. Because the signals recorded by different detector types differ in physical nature, the direct merging of data is unfeasible, which complicates multimodal analysis. Currently, to analyze data from the IACTs and TAIGA-HiSCORE, a set of auxiliary parameters specific to each detector type is calculated from the recorded signals. These parameters are chosen empirically, so there is no certainty that they retain all important information and are the best suited for the respective problems. We propose to use autoencoders (AE) for the analysis of TAIGA experimental data and replace the conventionally used auxiliary parameters with the parameters of the AE latent space. The advantage of the AE latent space parameters is that they preserve essential physics from experimental data without prior assumptions. This approach also holds potential for enabling seamless integration of heterogeneous IACT and HiSCORE data through a joint latent space. To reconstruct the parameters of the primary particle of the EAS from the latent space of the AE, a separate artificial neural network is used. In this paper, the proposed approach is used to reconstruct the energy of the EAS primary particles based on Monte Carlo simulation data for TAIGA-HiSCORE. The dependence of the energy determination accuracy on the dimensionality of the latent space is analyzed, and these results are also compared with the results obtained by the conventional technique. It is shown that when using the AE latent space, the energy of the primary particle is reconstructed with satisfactory accuracy.
