ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SF6 DETECTION BY A SOLUTE SWITCHING METHOD WITH A MODULATOR CONTAINING A NI-63 SOURCE

摘要

Theoretical analysis of the possibility of the application of Ni-63 sources in the solute switching detection method is presented. The performance of a modulator equipped with Ni-63 or H-3 source was compared. Presented results demonstrate that a system consisting of the modulator and the ECD detector equipped with Ni-63 sources can detect SF6 at the level of about 0.04 ppt if Fourier transformation is applied for data processing.
