An investigation of the light capture properties of the XEPHWICH, a phoswich radiation detection system

Creator:: Jones, Sean E.
Abstract:: The XEPHWICH system is a phoswich type (multiple scintillator) radiation detector designed to detect several radioxenon isotopes with the goal of identifying covert nuclear explosions. The XEPHWICH system is designed with the sole purpose of replacing the Automated Radio-xenon Sampler/Analyzer (ARSA) in the United Nation's (UN) Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty's...
