Abstract
This paper introduces and describes the initial characterizations of a prototype beta-gamma coincidence detection system that utilizes a PIPSBox and two coplanar CdZnTe detectors for atmospheric radioxenon identification and nuclear test ban treaty verification. Coincidences between four independent detecting bodies are identified in real time via a custom coincidence module implemented in a field-programmable gate array. The system is compact, maintains simple readout electronics, and provides high resolution radiation detection at room temperature operation. Preliminary measurements using 137Cs and 131mXe were conducted to optimize various system parameters to achieve optimal energy resolution of key spectral features. The purpose of this research was to explore the utility of these materials and methods for radioxenon monitoring in the International Monitoring System.
