Description

The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) aims to directly detect dark matter using cryogenic crystal detectors and superconducting sensors. Predicting the position and energy of particle detection events is an essential part of the experiment, and the complexity of the data makes machine learning (ML) techniques ideal. We discuss the use of ML tools and detector modelling to make accurate predictions, as well as the challenges presented by the unique geometry and physics of the detectors.
