Confidence estimation in the prediction of epithermal neutron resonance self-shielding factors in irradiation samples using an ensemble neural network

Large neutron absorption resonances in the nuclides present in irradiation samples reduce the irradiating neutron flux at energies close to a resonance. In neutron activation analysis of optically thick samples with resonant isotopes, this self-shielding effect can be significant, and must be accoun...
