• Abstract: In this work, the ability of rare VHE gamma ray selection with neural network methods is investigated in the case when cosmic radiation flux strongly prevails (ratio up to {10^4} over the gamma radiation flux from a point source). This ratio is valid for the Crab Nebula in the TeV energy range, since the Crab is a well-studied source for calibration and test of various methods and installations in gamma astronomy. The part of TAIGA experiment which includes three Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes observes this gamma-source too. Cherenkov telescopes obtain images of Extensive Air Showers. Hillas parameters can be used to analyse images in standard processing method, or images can be processed with convolutional neural networks. In this work we would like to describe the main steps and results obtained in the gamma/hadron separation task from the Crab Nebula with neural network methods. The results obtained are compared with standard processing method applied in the TAIGA collaboration and using Hillas parameter cuts. It is demonstrated that a signal was received at the level of higher than 5.5{\sigma} in 21 hours of Crab Nebula observations after processing the experimental data with the neural network method.

• Selection of gamma events from IACT images with deep learning methods [0.0]
  Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) of gamma ray observatory TAIGA detect the Extesnive Air Showers (EASs) The ability to segregate gamma rays images from the hadronic cosmic ray background is one of the main features of this type of detectors. In actual IACT observations simultaneous observation of the background and the source of gamma ray is needed. This observation mode (called wobbling) modifies images of events, which affects the quality of selection by neural networks.

We find that the noise existing in Radar measurements is one of the main key reasons that prevents one from applying the existing fusion methods. The experiments are conducted on the nuScenes dataset, which is one of the first datasets which features Camera, Radar, and LiDAR recordings in diverse scenes and weather conditions.
