Abstract

High Energy Physics experiments require fast and efficient methods to
reconstruct the tracks of charged particles. Commonly used algorithms are
sequential and the CPU required increases rapidly with a number of tracks.
Neural networks can speed up the process due to their capability to model
complex non-linear data dependencies and finding all tracks in parallel.
In this paper we describe the application of the Deep Neural Network
to the reconstruction of straight tracks in a toy two-dimensional model. It is
planned to apply this method to the experimental data taken by the MUonE
experiment at CERN.
