Development of a CZT-Silicon Detection System in Support of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty

Creator:

Alhawsawi, Abdulsalam M.

Abstract:

The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans all nuclear explosion tests for military or civilian purposes. The International Monitoring System (IMS) was established to verify compliance with the treaty. It consists of several monitoring stations that detect: seismic activities, hydrocoustic activities, infrasound waves, and radionuclide particles and noble gases. Radioxenon detection...

A Two-element CZT-based Radioxenon Detection System for Nuclear Weapon Test Monitoring

Creator:

Ranjbar, Lily

Abstract:

Detection of xenon radioisotopes (radioxenons) has proven to be an important method for detecting nuclear explosions and is particularly well suited for detecting undeclared underground testing. The radioxenon isotopes ¹³¹mXe (t₁/₂ = 11.934 d), ¹³³mXe (t₁/₂ = 2.19 d), ¹³³Xe (t₁/₂ = 5.243 d) and ¹³⁵Xe (t₁/₂ = 9.14 h)...
