• Abstract summary: The Cherenkov Telescope Array is the future of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy. Its first prototype telescope built on-site, the Large Size Telescope 1, is currently under commissioning and taking its first scientific data. We present for the first time the development of a full-event reconstruction based on deep convolutional neural networks and its application to real data.

• Abstract: The Cherenkov Telescope Array is the future of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy. Its first prototype telescope built on-site, the Large Size Telescope 1, is currently under commissioning and taking its first scientific data. In this paper, we present for the first time the development of a full-event reconstruction based on deep convolutional neural networks and its application to real data. We show that it outperforms the standard analysis, both on simulated and on real data, thus validating the deep approach for the CTA data analysis. This work also illustrates the difficulty of moving from simulated data to actual data.

  Existing methods generate data which are more noisy and complete than the real point clouds. We propose FPA raycasting and surrogate model raydrop. With minimal training data, the surrogate model can generalize to different geographies and scenes. Results show that object detection models trained by simulation data can achieve similar result as the real data trained model.

  In astronomy, neural networks are often trained on simulation data with the prospect of being used on telescope observations. We show that the addition of each domain adaptation technique improves the performance of a classifier when compared to conventional deep learning algorithms. We demonstrate this on two examples: between two Illustris-1 simulated datasets of distant merging galaxies, and between Illustris-1 simulated data of nearby merging galaxies and observed data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
