Particle identification in KM3NeT/ORCA
Original language description
One of the main goals of KM3NeT/ORCA is to measure atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters with competitive precision. To achieve this goal, good discrimination between track-like and shower-like events is necessary, with particular focus on the measurement of the tau neutrino normalisation. The track-like signal is mainly carried by muon neutrinos from charged current interactions, while the shower-like signal comes from charged current interactions of electron and tau neutrinos, and neutral current interactions of all flavours. A Random Grid Search algorithm is optimised to separate these channels and its performance is compared with machine learning methods using boosted decision trees. This contribution will report on the technical aspects of the algorithm and the performance of the particle identification with data recorded in 2020 and 2021 using an early six-lines configuration of the ORCA detector (ORCA6).
