13 June 1995Study and optimization of a neural network with fuzzy logic preprocessing for particle identification on a cosmic ray detector
A fuzzy logic preprocessing is used in connection with a back propagation neural network in particle recognition. As application on 4 GeV CERN experimental and Monte Carlo data of e- and (pi) (superscript -, taken with the prototype of the silicon Tungsten calorimeter of the Wizard collaboration, is shown. This preprocessing consists in giving as input to the net the membership value, for a given discriminating parameter value, to belong to a given particle class. In this way the input layer receives a normalized input. The net can then exploit the correlations between different parameters, resulting in an increased convergence speed and recognition capability of the net. Other advantages of this approach are its noise robustness and the simple generalization of other particle classes or energies.
