Abstract
In this article, we provide a study of the energy calibration model used for Timepix-type detectors. The Timepix detectors, operating in Time-over-Threshold mode, measure information that needs to be mapped into the corresponding energies using a non-linear function. We consider three iterative algorithms, Gradient-Descent, Gauss–Newton and Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm, which we modify according to the calibration model constraints to perform better in terms of the convergence properties. Moreover, based on the variable projection method, we suggest a partial linearization of the calibration problem and provide results for this novel method.
