Inclusive electron-nucleus cross section models from domain adaptation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.08463v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We apply transfer learning (TL) to construct data-driven models of inclusive electron-nucleus cross sections. Starting from an ensemble of deep neural networks pretrained on \(^{12}\)C data, we fine-tune the models separately for \(^{3}\)He, \(^{6}\)Li, \(^{16}\)O, \(^{27}\)Al, \(^{40}\)Ca, and \(^{56}\)Fe. The resulting models improve for all targets, marginally so for oxygen, where the carbon baseline is already adequate, although their predictive robustness depends on the amount, coverage, and precision of the available target data. We systematically study how model performance depends on the number of fine-tuned layers, on the fraction and selection of the training data, and on the overlap between the source and target kinematic domains
