Fundamental Study on Neutron Spectrum Unfolding using Maximum Entropy and Maximum Likelihood Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel spectrum unfolding code, Maximum Entropy and Maximum Likelihood Unfolding Code (MEALU), based on the maximum likelihood combined with the maximum entropy method, which can determine a neutron spectrum without requiring an initial guess spectrum. We present the basic theory, limitations and assumptions built into the implementation. The performance is checked through an analysis of mock-up data. The results are compared with those obtained by conventional methods for neutron spectrum unfolding.

متن کاملA Unifying Probabilistic Perspective for Spectral Dimensionality Reduction: Insights and New Models
We introduce a new perspective on spectral dimensionality reduction which views these methods as Gaussian Markov random fields (GRFs). Our unifying perspective is based on the maximum entropy principle which is in turn inspired by maximum variance unfolding. The resulting model, which we call maximum entropy unfolding (MEU) is a nonlinear generalization of principal component analysis. We relat...

متن کاملUnfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
