|
Here are some ANITA/PUEO pictures that I received from Christian Mike that might be helpful. I include his descriptions as well.
The one with the black crates in the background is the ANITA 1 and ANITA 2 form factor and the one in the anechoic chamber is the ANITA
3 and ANITA 4 form factor. I dimensioned out an ANITA 3/4 antenna, in CAD space, to give you a better idea of the ridge profile. The ANITA 1/2 CAD models |

Tue Mar 7 00:06:57 2023, Bryan Reynolds, Retroactive AREA update: January 18, 2022 AREA run- No linear freq. dependence test w/ increased NPop
|
The following is a run summary of an AREA test using 100 individuals per generation, without the linear frequency dependence on the
gain, with the frequency fixed (i.e. the same gain pattern is produced for all frequencies). This run was a preliminary test of the AREA algorithm with
a larger NPop (100 individuals per generation) after seeing promising results in the previous test that only used 20 individuals per generation. The percentages |

|
The following is a run summary of the AREA test without the linear frequency dependence on the gain, with the frequency fixed (i.e. the same gain pattern
is produced for all frequencies). This run was a preliminary test of the AREA algorithm after fixing long-standing errors in the algorithm and finding
that the initial constaints implemented did not work with the frequency dependence on gain. Results from this run did show a "proof-of-concept" |

|
We began a new run for a symmetric bicone antenna. The purpose of this is to satisfy the most recent comments from the reviewer on the paper. We are
using the same GA as for the paper with the same parameters. I will update this post soon with more details about this run. There is a run_details file
attached, but please wait for me to update this post with more specifics as the version of the GA being used is less connected to the details presented |

Attached is a pdf of physics plots generated for the 9_50, 13_84, 18_89, 19_96, and 29_87 crazy sides individuals along with another containing information
on the amount of triggered events and effective volumes for each individual. The crazy sides individuals were simulated for 3 million events using
the same Arasim version as is currently in the loop. |

|
Physics plots were created for 300K events from the higher statistic simulation results for the 9_50, 13_84, 18_89, 19_96, and 29_87 antennae.
The simulation was inaccurate because a discrepancy exists between the higher simulation physics plots and the physics plots created for the
300K event results currently in the GENETIS Loop. This can be seen in the attached pdf file. |

Here we will record where we obtained the ARA bicone antenna response files we use as our baselines. We want to record where we found them/who gave them
to us and how they were generated (either through simulation or from actual tests). |

Fri Dec 30 01:16:52 2022, Alex M, Run Details: 2022_12_29

We began a new run of the curved sided GA. Previously, we conducted a run just like this in July of 2022 (titled 2022_07_15_Latest_Greatest). In that
run, we made substantial updates to the loop, including using the latest version of AraSim. However, we discovered after the run (which had a very flat
fitness score growth curve) that we had not modified AraSim to take in gainfiles appropriately (so it was just evaluating the ARA bicone repeatedly). We've |

|
Here are the changes that have been made in this (and the preceding) run relative to what we have been doing before.
The newest version of AraSim has been implemented.
This was done because AraSim has gone through significant changes since
2019 that make it more accurate and makes it run faster.
The minimum length has been decreased to 10 cm per side.

|
This is the plot for the run type that had the best performance in the most recent optimization run that was completed. The most optimized runs from
these collections are decided by which run types achieve a chi-squared value of 0.1 in the fewest generations (correlating to about a 0.9 fitness score).
However, the genetic algorithm does not use Chi-squared directly, instead trying to maximize the fitness score (which uses a chi-squared in the denominator) |
