1. 1. Is Triple Coincidence a Viable Method for Nuclear Weapons Detection in Light of Double Coincidence Methods?

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Karl Herlin; [2021]
   Keywords : Xenon; Coincidence; Nuclear weapons; Monte Carlo; simulation; Double coincidence; Triple cpincidence; isotope;

   Abstract : A fully functioning Comprehensive nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) is essential for a world free of nuclear weapons. To measure radionuclides in the atmosphere in accordance with the CTBT, facilities such as SAUNA uses double coincidence techniques to discriminate between interesting Xenon isotopes. READ MORE

3. 2. Detections of nuclear explosions by triple coincidence

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

   Author : Marielle Akser; [2021]
   Keywords : Nuclear explosion; Radioxenon; Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty; Triple coincidence; SAUNA;

   Abstract : When a nuclear explosion occurs certain radionuclides are emitted, notably xenon. Due to the fact that xenon is a noble gas, it is hard to contain and can therefore be detected far from the explosion site. There are four isotopes of xenon that are of interest in the detection of a nuclear explosion: 131mXe, 133mXe, 133Xe and 135Xe. READ MORE
