Abstract

Neutrons and gamma-rays from a 152Cf source have been measured and separated based on the time of flight (TOF) technique. Their pulse shape characteristics measured by EJ-299-33 scintillator were used to train an artificial neural network (ANN) in a machine learning method. Afterward, the ANN was used to predict another set of pulse shape data to identify neutron and gamma-ray events. Comparing to the charge-comparison method, the ANN gave better identification. This result proves a potential application of machine learning method in the nuclear data analysis.
