Thermal neutron beam optimization for PGNAA applications using Q-learning algorithm and neural network
Abstract As a powerful, non-destructive analysis tool based on thermal neutron capture reaction, prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) indeed requires the appropriate neutron source. Neutrons produced by electron Linac-based neutron sources should be thermalized to be appropriate for PGNA...
