Liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) are a type of particle detector widely used in current and future neutrino experiments. Their widespread use is due to (1) their ability to scale up to very large sizes and (2) their ability to take high-resolution images of the trajectories of charged particles that travel through them. These detectors will play a central role in advancing our knowledge of neutrinos and the fundamental laws of physics.

In order to realize the discoveries our field hopes to make with LArTPC experiments, the information from LArTPC images must be used to reconstruct the true trajectories of particles as accurately as possible. These particle trajectories can be then be used to investigate potentially novel properties of the neutrino. Our group is heavily involved in advancing the application of deep convolutional neural networks to assist in the 3D reconstruction of particle interactions.
