The radioxenon detectors currently used in applications related to nuclear explosion monitoring have a very high sensitivity to detect very small amounts of radioxenon. However, to better distinguish the radioxenon background created by nuclear power plants and...

Measurement of radioactive xenon in the atmosphere is one of several techniques to detect nuclear weapons testing, typically using either scintillator based coincidence beta/gamma detectors or germanium based gamma only detectors. Silicon detectors have a number of...
