Machine learning algorithms have become essential tools in modern physics experiments, enabling the precise and efficient analysis of large-scale experimental data. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) demands innovative methods for processing the vast data volumes generated at high collision rates of up to 10 MHz. This study presents a deep-learning-based approach to enhance the signal/background (S/B) ratio for Λ particles within the Kalman Filter (KF) Particle Finder framework. Using the Artificial Neural Networks for First Level Event Selection (ANN4FLES) package of CBM, a multi-layer perceptron model was designed and trained on simulated data to classify Λ particle candidates as signal or background. The model achieved over 98% classification accuracy, enabling significant reductions in background—in particular, a strong suppression of the combinatorial background that lacks physical meaning—while preserving almost the whole Λ particle signal. This approach improved the S/B ratio by a factor of 10.97, demonstrating the potential of deep learning to complement existing particle reconstruction techniques and contribute to the advancement of data analysis methods in heavy-ion physics.
