  • Real Time Temporal Spectroscopy for Characterizing Special Nuclear Material

    Creator:
    Mannino, Mitch
    Abstract:
    Characterizing special nuclear material (SNM) is critical for nuclear security and non-proliferation. Temporal spectroscopy is a novel and efficient method for characterizing relative material content of special nuclear material. Fission products produced by SNM after being irradiated by a thermal neutron beam can have different half-lives, but can contribute to...
