Title: $$\mu / \pi$$ Separation using Convolutional Neural Networks for the MicroBooNE Charged Current Inclusive Cross Section Measurement

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was to use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to separate $$\mu^{\prime}$$s and $$\pi^{\prime}$$s for use in increasing the acceptance rate of $$\mu^{\prime}$$s below the implemented 75cm track length cut in the Charged Current Inclusive (CC-Inclusive) event selection for the CC-Inclusive Cross-Section Measurement. In doing this, we increase acceptance rate for CC-Inclusive events below a specific momentum range.
