| Popis: | The morphology of a collision cascade is an important aspect in understanding the formation of defects and their distribution. While the number of subcascades is an essential parameter to describe the cascade morphology, the methods to compute this parameter are limited. We present a method to compute the number of subcascades from the primary damage state of the collision cascade. Existing methods analyse peak damage state or the end of ballistic phase to compute the number of subcascades which is not always available in collision cascade databases. We use density based clustering algorithm from unsupervised machine learning domain to identify the subcascades from the primary damage state. To validate the results of our method we first carry out a parameter sensitivity study of the existing algorithms. The study shows that the results are sensitive to input parameters and the choice of the time-frame analyzed. On a database of 100 collision cascades in W, we show that the method we propose, which analyzes primary damage state to predict number of subcascades, is in good agreement with the existing method that works on the peak state. We also show that the number of subcascades found with different parameters can be used to classify and group together the cascades that have similar time-evolution and fragmentation.
