Descripción
An optimization framework is presented for a Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter (PPAC) with Optical Readout for heavy-ion tracking and imaging. In a previous work, a differentiable optimization framework was developed in which a surrogate model predicted reconstructed positions of impinging charged particles as a function of detector parameters. This approach is extended by introducing a generative surrogate that simulate full detector events as produced by Geant4, while the subsequent position reconstruction is formulated as a differentiable step within the optimization pipeline. The performance of several generative models is compared, and their potential for automated detector design is discussed.
