The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is an experiment designed to study neutrino oscillations. Determination of neutrino mass ordering and precise measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters $sin^2 2theta_{12}$, $Delta m^2_{21}$ and $Delta m^2_{32}$ are the main goals of the experiment. A rich physical program beyond the oscillation analysis is also foreseen. The ability to accurately reconstruct particle interaction events in JUNO is of great importance for the success of the experiment. In this work we present a few machine learning approaches applied to the vertex and the energy reconstruction. Multiple models and architectures were compared and studied, including Boosted Decision Trees (BDT), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), a few kinds of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), based on ResNet and VGG, and a Graph Neural Network based on DeepSphere. Based on a study, carried out using the dataset, generated by the official JUNO software, we demonstrate that machine learning approaches achieve the necessary level of accuracy for reaching the physical goals of JUNO: $sigma_E=3%$ at $E_text{vis}=1~text{MeV}$ for the energy and $sigma_{x,y,z}=10~text{cm}$ at $E_text{vis}=1~text{MeV}$ for the position.

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is designed to study neutrino mass hierarchy and measure three of the neutrino oscillation parameters with high precision using reactor antineutrinos. It is also able to study many other physical p
henomena, including supernova neutrinos, solar neutrinos, geo-neutrinos, atmosphere neutrinos, and so forth. The central detector of JUNO contains 20,000~tons of liquid scintillator (LS) and about 18,000 20-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), which is the largest liquid scintillator one under construction in the world up today. The energy resolution is expected to be 3%/$sqrt{E(MeV)}$. To meet the requirements of the experiment, an algorithm of vertex reconstruction, which takes into account time and charge information of PMTs, has been developed by deploying the maximum likelihood method and well understanding the complicated optical processes in the liquid scintillator.
The application of machine learning techniques to the reconstruction of lepton energies in water Cherenkov detectors is discussed and illustrated for TITUS, a proposed intermediate detector for the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. It is found that applyi
ng these techniques leads to an improvement of more than 50% in the energy resolution for all lepton energies compared to an approach based upon lookup tables. Machine learning techniques can be easily applied to different detector configurations and the results are comparable to likelihood-function based techniques that are currently used.
A study on the use of a machine learning algorithm for the level 1 trigger decision in the JUNO experiment ispresented. JUNO is a medium baseline neutrino experiment in construction in China, with the main goal of determining the neutrino mass hierar
chy. A large liquid scintillator (LS)volume will detect the electron antineutrinos issued from nuclear reactors. The LS detector is instrumented by around 20000 large photomultiplier tubes. The hit information from each PMT will be collected into a center trigger unit for the level 1 trigger decision. The current trigger algorithm used to select a neutrino signal event is based on a fast vertex reconstruction. We propose to study an alternative level 1 (L1) trigger in order to achieve a similar performance as the vertex fitting trigger but with less logic resources by using firmware implemented machine learning model at the L1 trigger level. We treat the trigger decision as a classification problem and train a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP)model to distinguish the signal events with an energy higher than a certain threshold from noise events. We use JUNO software to generate datasets which include 100K physics events with noise and 100K pure noise events coming from PMT dark noise.For events with energy higher than 100 keV, the L1 trigger based on the converged MLP model can achieve an efficiency higher than 99%. After the training performed on simulations,we successfully implemented the trained model into a Kintex 7FPGA. We present the technical details of the neural network development and training, as well as its implementation in the hardware with the FPGA programming. Finally the performance of the L1 trigger MLP implementation is discussed.
Large-volume liquid scintillator detectors with ultra-low background levels have been widely used to study neutrino physics and search for dark matter. Event vertex and event time are not only useful for event selection but also essential for the rec
onstruction of event energy. In this study, four event vertex and event time reconstruction algorithms using charge and time information collected by photomultiplier tubes were analyzed comprehensively. The effects of photomultiplier tube properties were also investigated. The results indicate that the transit time spread is the main effect degrading the vertex reconstruction, while the effect of dark noise is limited. In addition, when the event is close to the detector boundary, the charge information provides better performance for vertex reconstruction than the time information.
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy as a primary physics goal. It is also capable of observing neut
rinos from terrestrial and extra-terrestrial sources, including supernova burst neutrinos, diffuse supernova neutrino background, geoneutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, as well as exotic searches such as nucleon decays, dark matter, sterile neutrinos, etc. We present the physics motivations and the anticipated performance of the JUNO detector for various proposed measurements. By detecting reactor antineutrinos from two power plants at 53-km distance, JUNO will determine the neutrino mass hierarchy at a 3-4 sigma significance with six years of running. The measurement of antineutrino spectrum will also lead to the precise determination of three out of the six oscillation parameters to an accuracy of better than 1%. Neutrino burst from a typical core-collapse supernova at 10 kpc would lead to ~5000 inverse-beta-decay events and ~2000 all-flavor neutrino-proton elastic scattering events in JUNO. Detection of DSNB would provide valuable information on the cosmic star-formation rate and the average core-collapsed neutrino energy spectrum. Geo-neutrinos can be detected in JUNO with a rate of ~400 events per year, significantly improving the statistics of existing geoneutrino samples. The JUNO detector is sensitive to several exotic searches, e.g. proton decay via the $pto K^++bar u$ decay channel. The JUNO detector will provide a unique facility to address many outstanding crucial questions in particle and astrophysics. It holds the great potential for further advancing our quest to understanding the fundamental properties of neutrinos, one of the building blocks of our Universe.
