Proton radiography is a widely-fielded diagnostic used to measure magnetic structures in plasma. The deflection of protons with multi-MeV kinetic energy by the magnetic fields is used to infer their path-integrated field strength. Here, the use of tomographic methods is proposed for the first time to lift the degeneracy inherent in these path-integrated measurements, allowing full reconstruction of spatially resolved magnetic field structures in three dimensions. Two techniques are proposed which improve the performance of tomographic reconstruction algorithms in cases with severely limited numbers of available probe beams, as is the case in laser-plasma interaction experiments where the probes are created by short, high-power laser pulse irradiation of secondary foil targets. The methods are equally applicable to optical probes such as shadowgraphy and interferometry [M. Kasim et al. Phys. Rev. E 95, 023306 (2017)], thereby providing a disruptive new approach to three dimensional imaging across the physical sciences and engineering disciplines.

We investigate the reconstruction problem of limited angle tomography. Such problems arise naturally in applications like digital breast tomosynthesis, dental tomography, electron microscopy etc. Since the acquired tomographic data is highly incomple
te, the reconstruction problem is severely ill-posed and the traditional reconstruction methods, such as filtered backprojection (FBP), do not perform well in such situations. To stabilize the reconstruction procedure additional prior knowledge about the unknown object has to be integrated into the reconstruction process. In this work, we propose the use of the sparse regularization technique in combination with curvelets. We argue that this technique gives rise to an edge-preserving reconstruction. Moreover, we show that the dimension of the problem can be significantly reduced in the curvelet domain. To this end, we give a characterization of the kernel of limited angle Radon transform in terms of curvelets and derive a characterization of solutions obtained through curvelet sparse regularization. In numerical experiments, we will present the practical relevance of these results.
The proton radiography diagnostic is widely used in laser-plasma experiments to make magnetic field measurements. Recent developments in analysis have enabled quantitative reconstruction of path-integrated magnetic field values, but making conclusion
s about the three-dimensional structure of the fields remains challenging. In this Letter we propose and demonstrate in kinetic simulations a novel target geometry which makes possible the production of multiple proton beams from a single laser pulse, enabling the application of tomographic methods to proton radiography.
This paper considers the reconstruction problem in Acousto-Electrical Tomography, i.e., the problem of estimating a spatially varying conductivity in a bounded domain from measurements of the internal power densities resulting from different prescrib
ed boundary conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on the limited angle scenario, in which the boundary conditions are supported only on a part of the boundary. The reconstruction problem is formulated as an optimization problem in a Hilbert space setting and solved using Landweber iteration. The resulting algorithm is implemented numerically in two spatial dimensions and tested on simulated data. The results quantify the intuition that features close to the measurement boundary are stably reconstructed and features further away are less well reconstructed. Finally, the ill-posedness of the limited angle problem is quantified numerically using the singular value decomposition of the corresponding linearized problem.
We investigate pruning and quantization for deep neural networks. Our goal is to achieve extremely high sparsity for quantized networks to enable implementation on low cost and low power accelerator hardware. In a practical scenario, there are partic
ularly many applications for dense prediction tasks, hence we choose stereo depth estimation as target. We propose a two stage pruning and quantization pipeline and introduce a Taylor Score alongside a new fine-tuning mode to achieve extreme sparsity without sacrificing performance. Our evaluation does not only show that pruning and quantization should be investigated jointly, but also shows that almost 99% of memory demand can be cut while hardware costs can be reduced up to 99.9%. In addition, to compare with other works, we demonstrate that our pruning stage alone beats the state-of-the-art when applied to ResNet on CIFAR10 and ImageNet.
Computer tomography is one of the most promising new methods to image abnormal tissues inside the human body. Tomography is also used to position the patient accurately before radiation therapy. Hadron therapy for treating cancer has become one of th
e most advantageous and safe options. In order to fully utilize the advantages of hadron therapy, there is a necessity of performing radiography with hadrons as well. In this paper we present the development of a proton computed tomography system. Our second-generation proton tomography system consists of two upstream and two downstream trackers made up of fibers as active material and a range detector consisting of plastic scintillators. We present details of the detector system, readout electronics, and data acquisition system as well as the commissioning of the entire system. We also present preliminary results from the test beam of the range detector.
