Algorithm development for low level radioxenon 2D spectra analysis: A first case of study using spectral unmixing for a β-γ detector.

In the scope of the verification regime of the Comprehensive nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the CEA/DAM is developing new β-γ measurement systems. In order to improve the analysis methods at low statistics, a new multiplicative spectral unmixing algorithm for full-spectrum analysis was tested on a particular setup for different types of mixtures. The reconstructed activities for simulated spectra and the characteristic limits found with this algorithm are compared to the classic ROI analysis method.
