Abstract
Some detectors, particularly gas detectors, have an optimum polarization point at which their efficiency increases, resulting in more stable measurements. Finding an optimal polarization point can be tedious in many cases, specially when it has to be calculated in situ and manually. In addition, this point can vary over time depending on the environmental conditions of the detector. This manuscript proposes the automatic calculation of this polarization point using a method based on Bayesian optimization. The validation of this method has been carried out first using theoretical polarization curves and then using the real polarization of one of the particle detectors that make up the CaLMa neutron monitor.
期刊介绍:
The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth''s surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.
NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).
All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
