机器学习比传统方法更准地解出伽马谱学中的衰变分布。
Rethinking Total Absorption Gamma Spectroscopy Deconvolution: Supervised Machine Learning vs Response-Matrix Methods

- 用监督学习建模探测器响应,直接从谱图反推能级填充
- 机器学习重建精度更高,响应矩阵法给出稳定初始解
- 适合核物理实验中复杂衰变谱的高精度分析
总吸收伽马谱学中提取β衰变能级填充分布是一个困难的逆问题,尤其在具有大量激发态的核素中,测量谱由多个探测器响应函数叠加而成,导致各能级填充的确定本质上病态且高度依赖方法。本文通过真实蒙特卡洛模拟的总吸收谱仪,系统比较了监督式机器学习与响应矩阵法。前者构建非参数估计器,在训练后直接从测量谱推断能级填充;后者通过最小化实测与重建谱的差异求解。结果表明,监督学习在重构个体填充强度上精度更优,而响应矩阵法提供物理一致且稳定的初始解。研究支持采用混合策略:先用响应矩阵法获得初始估计,再以监督学习精细优化,从而提升整体准确性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The extraction of $β$-feeding distributions in Total Absorption $γ$-ray Spectroscopy constitutes a challenging inverse problem, particularly in nuclei with complex decay schemes involving a large number of excited states. In such cases, the measured spectrum arises from the superposition of many detector response functions, making the determination of the individual feedings intrinsically ill-posed and highly sensitive to the methodology employed. In this work, we present a systematic comparison between supervised Machine-Learning techniques and Response-Matrix methods using realistic Monte Carlo simulations of an experimental Total Absorption Spectrometer. Supervised Machine-Learning approaches construct a non-parametric estimator that infers level feedings from the measured spectrum after a training stage, whereas Response-Matrix methods determine the feeding distribution by directly minimizing the difference between measured and reconstructed spectra. Our results show that supervised Machine-Learning techniques achieve superior accuracy in the reconstruction of individual feeding intensities, whereas Response-Matrix methods provide robust and physically consistent initial solutions. These findings support a hybrid strategy in which a Response-Matrix method is first used to obtain an initial feeding estimate, which is then refined using a supervised Machine-Learning approach to achieve improved overall accuracy.
