Incorrect EXFOR Experimental Campaigns

Before fitting your models, it is important to generally inspect your data. In this particular case, visualizing and assessing 6 million data points are more or less impossible. This notebook contains a couple of reactions that have been found to have a negative impact on model performance. It is recommended that these experimental campaigns are eliminated from your dataset.

ML-based EXFOR Outlier Detection

To perform outlier detection in the EXFOR dataset, it is important that you do not rely on typical statistical techniques computed on the entire dataset (traditional ML). These will, in many cases, tag resonance data points as outliers. ML-based outlier detection can be used.

Hybrid ML-ENDF ACE File Creation

In the processing and validation stage of the nuclear data evaluation pipeline, a hybrid set of cross sections are generated previous to compilation into ACE files. If you want more information on how these corrections are performed and unitarity is enforced, feel free to browse the following information.

ENSDF NLD Linear Interpolation

In an attempt to include nuclear level information for cross section inference, simple linear interpolation techniques and utilities are incorporated into NucML. In the following notebook, a set of nuclear level densities for all available isotopes up to 20 MeV is generated.
