Description

The mass composition of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays can be analyzed by employing deep neural networks. We present an improved version of such analysis for Telescope Array's surface detectors data. Our neural network was trained on a large Monte-Carlo dataset simulating the expected experimental data distribution, and then was applied to the actual experimental data. Systematic and model errors are discussed.
