Machine Learning

From Proton radiographs physicists extract information about the magnetic fields of plasma. Conventionally one only relies on proton radiographs to extract 2D information. However radiographs usually contain a hint of 3D information, as the protons that made the radiograph traversed through the whole plasma. Machine learning allows us to extract this information - as normal algorithms cannot do so efficiently.

We've designed a spectrometer that can retrieve a 3D spectral profile of a plasma with a single measurement. The design of the spectrometer is built around a compressed sensing algorithm - which allows the spectrometer to retrieve 3D information from an otherwise 2D sensor.
