A comparison of machine learning methods to classify radioactive elements using prompt-gamma-ray neutron activation data

Abstract The detection of illicit radiological materials is critical to establishing a robust second line of defence in nuclear security. Neutron-capture prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) can be used to detect multiple radioactive materials across the entire Periodic Table. However, long detec...
