  "description": "<p>In the search for&nbsp;Axion Like Particles (ALPs) as a extension of the standard model of particle physics, one possibly arising experimental signature is&nbsp;<span class=\"math-tex\">\\(B^\\pm \\rightarrow K^\\pm a,~a\\rightarrow \\gamma\\gamma\\)</span>.<br>\nIn the context of the search for this signature at the Belle II experiment, this thesis studies an alternative signal selection algorithm on Belle II simulation samples.<br>\nHere the signal selection is based on the so-called Punzi-net, &nbsp;a training of a feed-forward neural network with a loss function inspired by the minimal detectable cross-section. This approach&nbsp;reproduces the signal efficiency&nbsp;from&nbsp;the previous cut-based selection.</p>",
