Description

WCTE is a small water Cherenkov detector instrumented with O(100) multi-PMT modules. The detector collected charged particle beam data at the CERN T9 beam line in 2024 and 2025 and has both charged particle and tagged photons over a momentum range from 200 MeV/c up to 1 GeV/c.

This talk will present the development of CNN-based reconstruction algorithms for water Cherenkov neutrino detectors, and show their performance at the Water Cherenkov Test Experiment (WCTE).
