| Popis: | International audience; An ultra-compact and unshielded spectrometer for analysis of atmospheric xenon radionuclides has been developed: the MARGOT system. This system works at ambient temperature and high pressure, and has a 54.3 cm$^3$ inner active volume. Atmospheric xenon radionuclide activities are determined with the electron-photon coincidence technique using both NaI(Tl) detectors and large pixellized Si-PIN detectors. The MARGOT system integrates an enhanced version of the PIPSBox™, Geant4 simulation and first calibration results are discussed. |
