Classification of Equation of State in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions Using Deep Learning

Convolutional Neural Nets, which is a powerful method of Deep Learning, is applied to classify equation of state of heavy-ion collision event generated within the UrQMD model. Event-by-event transverse momentum and azimuthal angle distributions of protons are used to train a classifier. An overall accuracy of classification of 98% is reached for Au+Au events at sNN\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \sqrt{s_{NN}} $$\end{document} = 11 GeV. Performance of classifiers, trained on events at different colliding energies, is investigated. Obtained results indicate extensive possibilities of application of Deep Learning methods to other problems in physics of heavy- ion collisions.
