Machine learning methods for spectroscopic information recovery under ultrafast photon pileup

Jayson R. Vavrek, Thomas D. MacDonald, Yue Shi Lai

We present methods for recovering spectroscopic information from multiple concurrent photon interactions that would normally be lost due to pulse pileup. In particular, we focus on…

Transferability of data-driven optimization results across multiple pixelated CdZnTe spectrometers

Thomas D. MacDonald, Hannah S. Parrilla, Jayson R. Vavrek

Recent work by Vavrek et al. (2025) showed that machine learning methods can be used to exploit spatial patterns of performance variations within the highly-segmented H3D M400 gamm…

Radiological mapping and uncertainty quantification by a fast Microcanonical Langevin Monte Carlo sampler

Lei Pan, Jaewon Lee, Brian J. Quiter +3

Radiological mapping plays a critical role in nuclear emergency response and environmental management activities. A radiation image, representing the spatial and intensity distribu…

Inter-detector differential fuzz testing for tamper detection in gamma spectrometers

Pei Yao Li, Jayson R. Vavrek, Sean Peisert

We extend physical differential fuzz testing as an anti-tamper method for radiation detectors [Vavrek et al., Science and Global Security 2025] to comparisons across multiple detec…

Data-driven optimization of pixelated CdZnTe spectrometers for uranium enrichment assay

Jayson R. Vavrek, Thomas D. MacDonald, Hannah S. Parrilla +3

In recent work [Vavrek et al. (2025)], we developed the performance optimization framework spectre-ml for gamma spectrometers with variable performance across many readout channels…

Data-driven performance optimization of gamma spectrometers with many channels

Jayson R. Vavrek, Hannah S. Parrilla, Gabriel Aversano +3

In gamma spectrometers with variable spectroscopic performance across many channels (e.g., many pixels or voxels), a tradeoff exists between including data from successively worse-…
