Reinforcement Learning Techniques for the Optimization of Target Polarization in Nuclear Physics Scattering Experiments

arXiv cs.AIOctober 5, 2026en

arXiv:2610.02452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The operation of dynamically polarized targets in nuclear physics experiments relies on continuous tuning of the microwave frequency to compensate for radiation damage and evolving material properties, a task that is traditionally performed through manual trial-and-error by expert operators. This work presents a data-driven control framework that combines surrogate modeling with reinforcement learning to optimize the target polarization. Using operational data from the APOLLO cryogenic target system, we train and evaluate multilayer perceptron and Gaussian process regression models to predict polarization as a function of microwave frequency, b
