Machine learning outperforms traditional methods in gamma spectroscopy deconvolution

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of supervised machine learning techniques compared to traditional Response-Matrix methods for deconvolution in Total Absorption Gamma Spectroscopy. The study, utilizing Monte Carlo simulations of an experimental Total Absorption Spectrometer, found that machine learning approaches offer superior accuracy in reconstructing individual feeding intensities. However, Response-Matrix methods provide a robust initial solution, suggesting a hybrid strategy where a Response-Matrix method is used for an initial estimate, which is then refined by machine learning for improved overall accuracy.
