Popis: Due to the complex structures associated with neutron resonance cross sections, their accurate evaluation has received considerable attention in the field of nuclear data research. The traditional R-matrix method still faces some difficulties in evaluating the neutron resonance data, especially in briefly reproducing the high-frequency oscillating cross sections. Recently, the applications of machine learning methods in nuclear physics have been expanding. In this paper, a novel Phase Shift Deep Neural Network (PSDNN) method, which not only overcomes the limitations of other machine learning methods in fitting the high-frequency oscillating data, but also is more concise than the R-matrix method, is developed to reproduce the neutron resonance cross sections. The results show that PSDNN method can simultaneously reproduce the low and high-frequency oscillating cross sections for the 235U(n,f) reaction with high accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, from an algorithmic point of view, the PSDNN method lays a solid foundation for further fine-grained processing of experimental data and extraction of critical neutron resonance parameters, opening up new possibilities for practical applications in nuclear data research.
