Plasma X-ray Spectra Analysis Using Genetic Algorithms

X-ray spectroscopic analysis is a powerful tool for plasma diagnostics. We use genetic algorithms to automatically analyze experimental X-ray line spectra and discuss a particular implementation of the genetic algorithm suitable for our problem. Since spectroscopic analysis may be computationally intensive, we also investigate the use of case injected genetic algorithms for quicker analysis of several similar time resolved spectra. Preliminary results are promising and genetic algorithms seem to provide a reliable and robust approach for automated analysis of X-ray line spectra.
