Real-time radioxenon measurement using a Compton-suppressed well-type phoswich detector for nuclear explosion monitoring

Creator:

Alemayehu, Bemnet

Abstract:

Radioxenon detection is a technique used to monitor nuclear explosion and verify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Because of an ultra-low concentration of radioxenon at radioxenon monitoring stations, radioxenon detection systems must have high sensitivity. This sensitivity is measured in terms of detector's minimum detectable concentration (MDC). It is required...
