Pulse pile-up presents a significant challenge in nuclear radiation measurements, particularly in neutron-gamma pulse shape discrimination, as it causes pulse distortion and diminishes identification accuracy. To address this, we propose an optimized Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithm for correcting pulse pile-up. Initially, the Dung Beetle Optimizer (DBO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) are integrated to refine the correction process, with performance evaluated using charge comparison methods (CCM) for pulse shape discrimination. Leveraging prior knowledge from simulated data, we further analyze the relationships between various types of pulse pile-ups, including their combinations, inter-peak distances, and the accuracy of corrections. Extensive experiments conducted in a mixed neutron-gamma radiation field using plastic scintillators demonstrate that the proposed method effectively corrects pulse pile-up and accurately discriminates between neutron and gamma. Moreover, our approach significantly improves the fidelity of pulse shape discrimination and enhances the overall reliability of radiation detection systems in high-interference environments. |
