Abstract

Genetic Programming is used to generate pulse sequence elements for a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance system and evaluate them directly on that system without human intervention. The method is used to optimise pulse shapes for a series of solvent suppression problems. The method proves to be successful, with results showing an improvement in fitness of up to two orders of magnitude. The method is capable of producing both simple and novel solutions.
