Neutron-gamma discrimination method based on voiceprint identification
Aiming at the limited prior knowledge from the pulsed neutron radiation field, a new method for neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is proposed based on the theory of Voiceprint Identification (VI). This method primarily involves five steps: feature extraction of Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, training of a universal background model (UBM), adaptive training of neutron/gamma Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), model verification, and application. For 1000 small sample training sets provided by commercial organic scintillator detectors, the accuracy of this method was proven to be as high as 99 %, comparable to the classical charge integral method. The waveforms obtained under varying experimental conditions were used for unsupervised discrimination. The results demonstrate that this method offers high accuracy, robust feature extraction capabilities, strong generalization abilities, exceptional adaptability, and rapid computational speed.
期刊介绍:
The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.
Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
