Particle Identification with MLPs and PINNs Using HADES Data

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.
