Data analysis software package for radionuclide standardization with a digital coincidence counting system.
The Nuclear Metrology Laboratory (LMN) - IPEN, São Paulo, Brazil - developed a Digital Coincidence System (DCS), based on the Coincidence Counting Methodology, in order to improve its capabilities in radionuclide primary-standardization. Digital process is implemented in two steps: data-acquisition (a set of measurements) and offline software data-analysis and calculation. The present work shows the basics of the data-acquisition unit (Software Coincidence System - SCS), describes the DCS' data-analysis process and the initial approaches chosen for the implementation of the software package (Coincidence Analyzing Task - CAT). 152Eu standardization, performed for DCS testing, software expansion and validation, is briefly discussed.
