Title: An evolutionary strategy for DeltaE - E identification,
Abstract: In this article we present an automatic method for charge and mass
identification of charged nuclear fragments produced in heavy ion collisions at
intermediate energies. The algorithm combines a generative model of DeltaE - E
relation and a Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolutionary Strategy (CMA-ES). The
CMA-ES is a stochastic and derivative-free method employed to search parameter
space of the model by means of a fitness function. The article describes
details of the method along with results of an application on simulated labeled
data.
