Developing Feed-forward neural networks to perform identification on a wide variety of radionuclides in gamma spectra
摘要
Feed-forward neural networks with highly pre-processed inputs are proposed as an approach to automatically identify the presence of a wide variety of radioisotopes in complex samples. The process links characterised peaks from gamma spectroscopy to radionuclide emission lines. By inputting relational parameters between spectral peaks and decay data, the neural network selects between two possible solutions with 88% accuracy. The developed neural network demonstrates radionuclide insensitivity and can correctly identify radioisotopes that were not present in its training dataset with comparable accuracy.
