Nuclear Data Needs for Microcalorimetry and Non-destructive Assay
Geon-Bo Kim, Begona Aranguren-Barrado, Shamsuzzoha Basunia +5
Cryogenic microcalorimeters are state-of-the-art radiation detectors using superconducting and quantum technologies. They can resolve complex X-ray and low-energy γ-ray spectra wit…
Measuring the electron neutrino mass using the electron capture decay of 163Ho
Joel Ullom, Daniel Schmidt, Simon Bandler +14
While the mass differences between neutrino mass states are known, their absolute masses and mass hierarchy have not yet been determined. Determining the mass of neutrinos provides…
Quantification of 242Pu with a Microcalorimeter Gamma Spectrometer
David J. Mercer, Ryan Winkler, Katrina E. Koehler +18
We report measurements of the 103-keV and 159-keV gamma ray signatures of 242Pu using microcalorimetry. This is the first observation of these gamma rays in a non-destructive measu…
Gamma and Decay Energy Spectroscopy Measurements of Trinitite
D. J. Mercer, K. E. Koehler, M. P. Croce +5
We report gamma ray spectroscopy measurements of trinitite samples and analogous samples obtained from detonation sites in Nevada and Semipalatinsk, as well as in situ measurements…
Improved Nondestructive Isotopic Analysis with Practical Microcalorimeter Gamma Spectrometers
Mark Croce, Daniel Becker, Katrina E. Koehler +1
Advances in both instrumentation and data analysis software are now enabling the first ultra-high-resolution microcalorimeter gamma spectrometers designed for implementation in nuc…
First Measurements of Nuclear Detonation Debris with Decay Energy Spectroscopy
Mark P. Croce, Katrina E. Koehler, Veronika Mocko +4
We report the first isotopic composition measurements of trinitite, nuclear detonation debris from the Trinity test, using the novel forensics technique of decay energy spectroscop…
