Inference for a Proton Accelerator Using Convolution Models
利用卷积模型对质子加速器进行统计推断
Proton beams present difficulties in analysis because of the limited data that can be collected. The study of such beams must depend on complex computer simulators that incorporate detailed physical equations. The statistical problem of interest is to infer the initial state of the beam from the limited data collected as the beam passes through a series of focusing magnets. We are thus faced with a classic inverse problem where the computer simulator links the initial state…
