摘要

Accurate n/γ pulse shape discrimination (PSD) is essential in radiation detection. Utilizing EJ-276 scintillator data from an Am-Be neutron source and 137Cs gamma source, this study proposes a Sparrow Search Algorithm-optimized BP network (SSA-BP). Under the same measurement conditions, SSA-BP achieves 99% accuracy, surpassing traditional methods by 96–98% and a GA-BP model by 58–75%, demonstrating a computationally efficient approach for rapid discrimination in mixed radiation fields.
