Abstract

Radioxenon isotopes monitoring is of interest to the international monitoring system (IMS) of the comprehensive nuclear-test-ban treaty (CTBT). In the current IMS, the β–γ coincidence system utilizing plastic scintillator detectors and HPGe detectors achieves the best minimum detectable activity. PIPSBox detectors have outstanding advantages of higher energy resolution and a lower “memory effect”, which may offer a new option for β detectors in IMS. A dedicated high-resolution β–γ coincidence system has been developed in CNL06 referring to the Spalax next generation system. Commercial PIPSBox detector measurements with four radioxenon isotopes were performed at two different facilities with different background conditions.

用于放射性氙测量的PIPSBox探测器的研究

放射性氙同位素监测是《全面禁止核试验条约》（CTBT）国际监测系统关注的问题。在目前的IMS中，利用塑料闪烁体探测器和HPGe探测器的β -γ重合系统获得了最佳的最小可探测活性。PIPSBox探测器具有较高的能量分辨率和较低的“记忆效应”等突出优点，可为IMS中的β探测器提供新的选择。参考Spalax下一代系统，CNL06开发了专用的高分辨率β -γ重合系统。商业PIPSBox探测器在两个不同的设施和不同的背景条件下进行了四种放射性氙同位素的测量。

期刊介绍： Section A of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research publishes papers on design, manufacturing and performance of scientific instruments with an emphasis on large scale facilities. This includes the development of particle accelerators, ion sources, beam transport systems and target arrangements as well as the use of secondary phenomena such as synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers. It also includes all types of instrumentation for the detection and spectrometry of radiations from high energy processes and nuclear decays, as well as instrumentation for experiments at nuclear reactors. Specialized electronics for nuclear and other types of spectrometry as well as computerization of measurements and control systems in this area also find their place in the A section. Theoretical as well as experimental papers are accepted.
