Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear radiation measurement, and relates to a liquid scintillation TDCR multi-nuclide β spectrum analysis method and system based on artificial intelligence. Background Art
[0002] Radioactive decay mainly includes three types: α, β, and γ. Among them, due to the momentum conservation characteristics accompanied by neutrino emission in β decay, the energy of the released electrons shows a continuous energy spectrum distribution from zero to the maximum value, which is significantly different from the single energy peak of α particles and the discrete characteristic peaks of γ rays. This continuous energy spectrum characteristic makes β energy spectrum measurement irreplaceable in nuclear facility status monitoring (such as 90 Sr activity analysis), environmental radiation assessment ( 3 recognition of low-energy nuclides such as 14 H), and nuclear medicine diagnosis ( 3 C metabolism tracing), etc. It is worth noting that the analysis demand for mixed β nuclide systems is becoming increasingly prominent: dual-nuclide systems (such as 14 H- 3 C) have become standard analysis objects in scenarios such as biomedical tracing and synchronous detection of multiple pollutants, and the demand for mixed systems of three or more nuclides in the research and development of new nuclear drugs is also continuously increasing. However, the continuous distribution characteristics of the β energy spectra of different nuclides lead to a high degree of overlap in the energy regions. Especially under unknown quenching conditions, how to achieve rapid, convenient, and efficient calculation of the absolute activities of multi-nuclides has become a current technical bottleneck.
[0003] Currently, the liquid scintillation analyzer (LSA) is the core device for β energy spectrum measurement. Its international mainstream models include the PerkinElmer Tri-Carb series in the United States, the Hidex 300SL in Finland, and the domestic Shanghai Xinman LSA3000, Hubei Fangyuan FY2700-00, etc. These devices generally adopt a triple photomultiplier tube (PMT) coincidence measurement architecture, and achieve self-adaptive calibration of the single-nuclide detector efficiency through the counting ratio (TDCR) of triple coincidence (TAC) and double coincidence (DAC). The TDCR method effectively suppresses noise interference through triple-tube coincidence logic. Without the need for standard source calibration, it can eliminate the efficiency drift caused by the quenching effect, and significantly improve the measurement accuracy of single-nuclide low-activity samples (such as 3 H detection) in a high-background environment. This breakthrough advantage has enabled it to be included in the reference method for radioactive activity measurement by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and is widely used in national standard laboratories.
[0004] However, the traditional TDCR method faces fundamental constraints in the analysis of multi-nuclide mixed systems: when the sample contains multiple β-decaying nuclides and the quenching degree is unknown, the existing methods must rely on external calibration to establish a quenching efficiency curve. Take 14Taking the C dual-isotope system as an example, the current solutions mainly rely on two mutually exclusive strategies: the Exclusion Method and the Inclusion Method. The Exclusion Method decouples nuclides through energy spectrum partitioning: selecting the high-energy region (e.g., >50 keV) as the 14 C characteristic window, and solving for the 14 C activity using the count rate and efficiency curve in this energy region, and then inverting the ³H activity through the composite signal in the low-energy region; the Inclusion Method allows energy region overlap and synchronously solves the dual-isotope activities by constructing a system of simultaneous equations (CPM A = H·ε hA + C·ε cA ; CPM B = H·ε hB + C·ε cB ). Although these two methods have been engineered and implemented in patented technologies (such as the efficiency calibration method in CN117949998A and the energy window interpolation method in CN114488264B). However, the existing TDCR methods have common technical defects: First, their experimental systems need to rely on external sources and standard sources of the nuclides to be measured to establish the multi-energy region quenching efficiency response curve. Due to the strict supervision of radioactive substances and the scenario limitations of conventional laboratories and portable devices, it is difficult to routinely equip standard sources (including the supporting γ reference source), which significantly increases the experimental complexity and hinders the standardized promotion; Second, the method has a subjective experience dependence on the energy region division. Manually setting a fixed energy window (such as 14 50-156 keV for 14 C) leads to fragmented utilization of energy spectrum information. Especially in the case of 35 C (Emax = 156 keV) and
[0005] 35 S (Emax = 167 keV) and other energy spectrum adjacent or strong quenching scenarios, the fuzzy energy spectrum boundary and empirical screening are likely to cause significant cross-interference and systematic errors; In addition, the traditional solution model constructs a system of simultaneous equations using fixed-dimensional parameters, and its rigid mathematical framework cannot adapt to the changes in the energy spectrum morphology, facing problems such as no solution, local optimal solution or dynamic calibration failure under complex quenching conditions. These defects jointly restrict the accuracy and applicable boundary of the multi-nuclide β energy spectrum analysis technology.In recent years, the excellent performance of deep neural networks in dealing with multivariable non-linear problems has provided a new path to break through the limitations of traditional methods. Patent CN119763688 demonstrates a neutron detector efficiency correction technology for convolutional neural networks, and the multi-nuclide β energy spectrum analysis is essentially a multi-dimensional inverse problem involving quenching parameters, energy spectrum distribution characteristics, and nuclide activities. By constructing a numerical model of the detector response to generate a training dataset, the neural network can establish a direct mapping between energy spectrum features and nuclide activities, theoretically avoiding the dependence on calibration sources and manual energy region division in traditional methods. This data-driven strategy provides a new technical paradigm for developing adaptive multi-nuclide analysis algorithms, indicating that the β energy spectrum analysis technology is evolving from experience-dependent to intelligent computing-based. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Embodiment 1 The method for analyzing the multi-nuclide β-spectrum of liquid scintillation TDCR based on artificial intelligence provided by the present invention includes the following steps: Step 1: Numerical simulation of the liquid scintillation detector spectrometer. The present invention adopts a hierarchical modeling strategy to construct a full-link digital twin of the liquid scintillation spectrometer to achieve the energy spectrum response of a single nuclide under different quenching conditions. And through comparison and optimization of actual measurement and simulation, a numerical model of the liquid scintillation detector spectrometer is finally constructed.
[0018] Modeling Process of Liquid Scintillation Spectrometer Figure 1 As shown in the figure, it includes the following steps: I. First, a detector physical model is constructed based on the Monte Carlo method, specifically including: 1. Detector Modeling (1) Geometric Structure: Taking a cylindrical hollow cavity as an example, the inner diameter of the cavity is 100 mm, the height is 200 mm, and the inner layer of the cavity is coated with a 0.2 mm reflective layer. Three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) with a diameter of 50 mm and a sensitive area diameter of 48 mm are installed on the side of the cavity and are symmetrically distributed at 120°. The PMTs are coupled to the test cavity through a quartz window (refractive index 1.46). The sample is placed at the center of the test cavity.
[0019] (2) Material Properties: The material of the test cavity is polytetrafluoroethylene with a density of 0.89 g / cm³. The inner reflective layer of the cavity is made of polyethylene material, and a bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF) is defined on the surface of the reflective layer to simulate the mixed effect of diffuse reflection and specular reflection. The sample bottle and the optical windows of the PMTs are both fused silica glass with a density of 2.2 g / cm³. Its refractive index is wavelength-dependent and is described by the Sellmeier equation, such as n = 1.470 @400 nm. The refractive index of the liquid scintillator is 1.59, and the light attenuation length is 35 cm.
[0020] 2. Parameterization of Liquid Scintillation Performance (1) Light Yield Model Based on the Birks quenching formula, the photon yield per unit path length is defined , where the light yield coefficient photons / Me, (Birks quenching constant), and the energy deposition rate is calculated by the continuous slowing down approximation (CSDA) of β particles in the liquid scintillator.
[0021] (2) Nonlinear Quenching Correction Lookup table interpolation of Scintillation Yield vs. dE / dx is introduced to cover the saturation effect in the low energy region (<100 keV) to ensure that the light yield is consistent with the experimental calibration data.
[0022] 3. Modeling of Radioactive Source Samples (1) β Emission Energy Spectrum Based on the nuclide decay database (such as NuDat 3.0), the Fermi function is called to calculate the theoretical β energy spectrum: ; where, is the mass of the electron, is the speed of light, is the maximum energy of β particles, is the nuclear Coulomb correction factor.
[0023] (2)Spatial distribution The radiation source is evenly distributed in the sample bottle to avoid boundary effects; the number of decays is set to times to ensure that the statistical fluctuation of the energy spectrum < 1%.
[0024] (3)Background noise Simulate the spatio-temporal distribution of the background in the simulated environment (such as cosmic ray muons, natural radionuclides), and superimpose it on the main signal to enhance the authenticity of the simulation.
[0025] 4. Refined modeling of physical processes (1)Particle transport Simulate the ionization loss, δ-ray generation, and Cherenkov radiation threshold determination (triggered when the β velocity exceeds the speed of light in the liquid scintillator) that occur during the transport of β particles (electrons / positrons).
[0026] (2)Photon generation and collection The number of photons generated by each energy deposition event is based on the Birks formula, and the photon emission direction is isotropically distributed; photons experience reflection / refraction during transmission: the interface behavior is tracked through a geometric optical model; the absorption / scattering of photons in the liquid scintillator: the probability is calculated based on the absorption length and scattering length of the liquid scintillator.
[0027] Secondly, it is the readout electronics system, including the simulation of the PMT gain process and the simulation of the electronics response. Specifically: Simulation of the PMT gain process: By establishing the cascade amplification of the photomultiplier tube (PMT), defining the quantum efficiency of PMT photoelectric conversion (20% @ 400 nm), and simulating the full-link conversion from a single-photon pulse to the PMT readout signal. Focus on quantifying the impact of PMT gain fluctuations and dark noise interference on the energy spectrum shape.
[0028] Simulation of signal digitization: Convert the analog pulse into discrete energy spectrum data through the ADC model. The detector response function generated at this stage is combined with the physical simulation data to form a simulated energy spectrum, including digital signals and TDCR and other information.
[0029] By systematically comparing the Monte Carlo simulation data with the experimentally measured energy spectrum and trigger coincidence information (TDCR), a parameter optimization mechanism for the detector physical model and the front-end electronics system is established. After iterative calibration, the relative deviation between the simulated values and the experimentally measured values of the quenching response curve and detection efficiency can be controlled within a 5% confidence interval. The present invention constructs a universal simulation correction framework, which only requires a set of reference nuclides (such as The experimental data of ( ) can complete the parameter calibration of the detector response characteristics, without the need for the measured data support of all nuclides to be measured. The calibrated Monte Carlo simulation system only needs an open nuclide database, and can achieve the accurate reconstruction of the energy spectrum characteristics of any nuclide through particle transport calculation and energy deposition model.
[0030] Step 2: Generation of multi-nuclide mixed energy spectrum data.
[0031] Construct an enhanced training database through a parameterized data synthesis algorithm. Using the verified numerical model of the liquid scintillation detector, first randomly generate quenching parameters (light yield and Birks constant , and generate the basic quenching spectra of each nuclide in the two-tube / three-tube configuration , covering the energy range of 0.1 - 10 MeV, and simulate the TDCR response energy spectra of any two-tube and three-tube coincidences of a single nuclide under different quenching conditions.
[0032] On this basis, dynamically adjust the multi-nuclide concentration ratio and quenching intensity distribution to generate multi-component mixed energy spectra: apply random activity , simulate different nuclide activity ratios; introduce PMT noise (Gaussian distribution ) and electronics baseline drift to simulate the real measurement environment. Finally, generate 10 7 groups of mixed spectrum sample databases (80% for the training set, 10% for the validation set, 10% for the test set), covering the two-nuclide and three-nuclide mixed scenarios, providing a high-fidelity and strong generalization training basis for the neural network.
[0033] Step 3: Cascade multi-task mixed spectrum analysis neural network.
[0034] The present invention constructs a deep learning model dedicated to the decomposition of mixed nuclear β energy spectra. The main process of this part is shown in Figure 2 , and its core architecture adopts a two-stage cascade design to achieve double optimization from physical quantity inversion to spectrum shape fine-tuning.
[0035] 1. Construction of the model The first stage (physical quantity inversion): The TDCR multi-nuclide mixed spectra of the two-tube and three-tube are input and high-dimensional features are extracted through a shared fully connected layer (two 2-layer FC networks with 128 and 645 neurons respectively, ReLU activation, Dropout regularization), and independent tasks are branched out: (1) Activity prediction, a 3-layer FC network outputs the activity coefficients of each nuclide, and a non-negative constraint is applied (Softplus output); (2) Efficiency prediction, a 2-layer FC network outputs the detection efficiency coefficients of each nuclide, and a numerical 0 - 1 constraint is applied (Sigmoid output); (3) Adopt gradient magnitude adaptive weight allocation: Dynamically balance the optimization weights of activity (MSE loss) and efficiency (MSE loss); The second stage (spectrum shape reconstruction and parameter fine-tuning): Concatenate the activity, efficiency, and shared features and input them into a spectrum shape reconstructor with a lower learning rate; Reconstruct the two-tube and three-tube spectral quenching spectra independent of each nuclide through an FC network (Huber loss), apply non-negativity constraints (Softplus output), and perform smoothing filtering for denoising; Generate two-tube / three-tube mixed spectra based on the physical mixing formula: ; ; Among them, is the th nuclide, N is the total number of nuclide types in the mixed sample.
[0036] 2. Training and evaluation of the model (1) Training strategy Two-stage joint training: Unlock the parameters of the second stage after pre-training for 200 rounds; Early stopping mechanism: Monitor the loss function value of the validation set and tolerate 10 rounds without improvement; Optimizer: AdamW (lr = 1e-3 in the first round, 1e-4 in the second round).
[0037] During the training process, the model monitors the validation set based on the early stopping strategy using a mixed spectrum dataset containing different quenching conditions and concentration ratios to ensure generalization, and saves the best model according to the validation results.
[0038] (2) Evaluation system Table 1 Evaluation parameters Index Physical meaning Target preset value MSE (activity) Component identification accuracy >0.95 MSE (efficiency) Detector response modeling accuracy <0.05 SSIM (spectrum shape) Mixed spectrum reconstruction fidelity >0.95 .
[0039] Step 4: Use the trained neural network model to output the absolute activities, detection efficiencies, and decomposition energy spectrum contribution curves of multiple nuclides in real time. The specific process is shown in Figure 3 .
[0040] The user inputs the measured spectrum, and the model makes predictions on it. After loading the trained model, efficiency prediction, activity prediction, and contribution spectrum generation are performed. The predicted activity values and decomposition spectra are displayed to the user for easy analysis and decision-making. This process not only improves the analysis efficiency but also reduces the dependence on professional knowledge.
