Multicoincidence radionuclide analysis systems consisting of light-charged-particle detectors operating in coincidence with photon spectrometers are being developed to improve the sensitivity of radionuclide analysis in field applications. Requiring charged-particle/photon coincidence provides active shielding from environmental photon sources, and mapping photon–photon events into a coincidence plane can remove photon spectroscopy interferences. List-mode data acquisition and flexible hardware design ensures that the most sensitive coincidence schemes involving β, atomic electron, γ and X-ray emissions can be used for radionuclide quantification. System hardware design and preliminary measurement data are discussed. A centerpiece component of this project, the development of analysis tools and data libraries required to perform automated multicoincidence analysis, is also described. |
