Event-Mode Data Acquisition for Non-Destructive Laboratory Analysis

摘要

Event-mode data acquisition and related software-based coincidence counting open new possibilities to sample analysis. STUK has launched a comprehensive R&D programme on non-destructive analysis (NDA) techniques that will address sampling, measurement and data analysis. A new measurement device, known as PANDA, is introduced. The device is expected to provide analysis results that in the past were only possible through time-consuming destructive analyses. PANDA will certainly improve detection limits and provide critical isotope ratios for nuclear forensics.
