Berkeley Lab’s Nuclear Science Division has received two Department of Energy (DOE) funding awards for two-year projects focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).
A collaboration of Nuclear Science Division (NSD) scientists from the Low-Energy Nuclear Physics, 88” Cyclotron, and Applied Nuclear Physics programs will develop new methods to optimize a large gamma-ray spectrometer and an ion source for low-energy nuclear physics. The primary goal of this project is to explore the best applications of ML approaches and data analytics techniques to automate online optimization and tuning during operation, building on an existing ML project, started in 2021.
