Testing the Spectral Deconvolution Algorithm Tool (SDAT) with Xe Spectra

Abstract

The Spectral Deconvolution Analysis Tool (SDAT) software was developed to improve counting statistics and detection limits for nuclear explosion radionuclide measurements. SDAT utilizes spectral deconvolution spectroscopy techniques and can analyze both Beta-gamma coincidence spectra for radioxenon isotopes and high-resolution HPGe spectra from aerosol monitors. The SDAT tool has been integrated into a standalone graphical user interface (GUI). This GUI may import spectra, analyze the data for Xe concentrations, and graphically display the results. This tool has been tested with data generated via MCNPX models as well as real data.
