However, the increased photon flux introduces challenges in maintaining energy resolution in spectroscopic detection, particularly due to pulse pile-up at high count rates. This paper proposes a novel hybrid architecture that integrates deep learning algorithms with FPGA hardware to achieve real-time pulse pile-up correction in synchrotron radiation spectroscopic detectors. By employing the Transformer algorithm within an FPGA and leveraging GPU-based retraining to adapt to varying count rates, the system dynamically optimizes energy resolution. Experimental validation with data from the VortexEX90 detector demonstrates that the proposed approach achieves an energy resolution of approximately 126.8 eV at 60 kcps and 135.5 eV at 1 Mcps for incident photons of 22 keV, ensuring good performance across a wide range of count rates.

The glow curves significantly depended on the gamma-ray dose or LET for YAG:Ce with low Ce concentration. This behavior indicates that the preferential trap centers are different for irradiations of gamma rays and heavy charged particles. The TL intensity decreased significantly with LET. The decrease can be explained with competition between the trapping of electron-hole pairs, which will result in TL upon heating, and the quenching of electron-hole pairs owing to excited states interaction. Notably, the decrease in the TL intensity with LET was suppressed at high Ce concentration.

This study proposes a novel triple-hybrid machine learning framework, KOA-XGBoost-SHAP, to address these challenges. The framework integrates the Kepler Optimization Algorithm (KOA) for hyperparameter tuning, the XGBoost model for prediction, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for interpretability. Using 1,282 (n,2n) cross-section data points from the EXFOR database, covering incident neutron energies (EN) from 1 to 375 MeV and target nuclides with Z from 1 to 94 and A from 2 to 239, six ML models were optimized using KOA. The KOA-XGBoost model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.94, RMSE = 152.99 mb) when benchmarked against the EXFOR test set. Notably, its direct agreement with these raw EXFOR experimental data was also better than that achieved by ENDF/B-VII.1 evaluations (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.84, RMSE = 247.90 mb for available points) and default TALYS 2.0 calculations (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.75, RMSE = 312.59 mb) on the same test set data points. SHAP analysis quantitatively identified the contributions of input features (incident neutron energy, target/product nuclide properties, Q-value), revealing that EN and target characteristics are dominant. Furthermore, SHAP elucidated synergistic feature interactions, offering data-driven insights into the physical mechanisms influencing cross sections. This research demonstrates a robust, accurate, and interpretable ML framework for (n,2n) cross-section prediction, showcasing its capacity to further refine predictions based directly on experimental data, complementing established methods like ENDF and TALYS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19380,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section B-beam Interactions With Materials and Atoms","volume":"566 ","pages":"Article 165789"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
