AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS

AN EXPERT SYSTEM FOR NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS 1 first-author 1 Institute of High Energy Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing 100080, China Institute of High Energy Physics, Academia Sinica, Beijing 100080, China An expert system for neutron activation analysis has been designed on personal computer. It is mainly structured by means of the MDBS GURU, and composed of three subsystems: spectrum analysis, experiment design and data management. The gamma spectra from multiple channel analyzer can be treated conveniently with conventional methods and/or intellectualized isotope identification based on expert experiences. Fuzzy variable and its algebra are employed for inferring and expression of some conclusions. A procedure for quality control has been created to check the analytical quality. Suggestion of planning an experiment for a certain material can be obtained, and a gamma spectrum can be predicted or simulated. There is a data bank for saving the element concentrations.
