N-dimensional maximum-entropy tomography via particle sampling

Accelerator Physics 2025-05-15 v3 Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability

Abstract

We propose a modified maximum-entropy (MENT) algorithm for six-dimensional phase space tomography. The algorithm uses particle sampling and low-dimensional density estimation to approximate large sets of high-dimensional integrals in the original MENT formulation. We implement this approach using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling techniques and demonstrate convergence of six-dimensional MENT on both synthetic and measured data.
