CONVERSION ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY FOR ISOTOPIC ANALYSIS OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL

Special nuclear material (SNM) isotopes primarily decay via alpha particle emission, making alpha spectroscopy the most common measurement technique. However, alpha spectroscopy cannot distinguish Pu-239 and Pu-240 peaks or Pu-241 and Am-241 peaks without peak deconvolution techniques. Conversion el...
