Researchers are exploring the use of fully convolutional neural networks to improve the analysis of neutron transmission spectra, a task traditionally handled by R-Matrix codes. While the developed model achieved a 93% classification accuracy in identifying resonance regions, its ability to generalize to unseen isotopes was limited, even with additional training data. Future work will focus on expanding the training dataset and incorporating known physical characteristics of neutron resonances to enhance model performance and reliability. AI
