Interpretable Neural Networks Leverage Nuclear Symmetries for Mass Prediction

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed three novel neural network models—FINN, GINN, and WINN—to explore nuclear symmetries and predict nuclear masses. These models, trained on AME2016 and validated against AME2020 data, demonstrate that incorporating Wigner's SU(4) symmetry significantly reduces prediction errors. The WINN model, in particular, achieved a low root-mean-square error of 0.430 MeV, rivaling state-of-the-art methods and providing insights into nuclear physics, such as symmetry restoration near the neutron dripline and behavior in superheavy nuclei.

    Bridging Ab Initio Symmetries and Global Nuclear Masses with Interpretable Neural Networks

    Ab initio modeling has established Wigner's SU(4) and Elliott's SU(3) as dominant symmetries of the nuclear force in light and intermediate-mass nuclei. We ask whether they also govern nuclear binding across the entire chart. Our aim is not high-precision prediction but physical …
