Abstract

The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) bans nuclear weapons testing and establishes the International Monitoring System (IMS) for the purpose of treaty verification. IMS is a detector network that confirms that global nuclear activity is peaceful in nature. These detector systems use β-γ coincidence measurements to characterize atmospheric samples containing radioxenon isotopes. The purpose of this work is to use the system consisting of two sodium iodide detectors and two PIPSbox detectors to characterize isotopically pure samples of ^131mXe, ^133mXe, ¹³³Xe, and ¹³⁵Xe via β, γ, and β-γ coincidence measurements.
