A convolutional neural network approach for reconstructing polarization information of photoelectric X-ray polarimeters

Summary

This instrumental physics paper describes a convolutional neural network approach for extracting polarisation information from photoelectric X-ray polarimeters used in high-energy astrophysics. The methodology addresses computational challenges in reconstructing photon polarisation states from detector readout, potentially enabling improved real-time or offline analysis of X-ray polarimetry data. As a purely instrumental physics contribution, this work has no direct application to agricultural, soil, or nutritional research and appears to have been catalogued in Pulse Brain in error.
