  2. 1. Gamma Spectrometric Measurements Of Nuclear Material For Nuclear Forensic Purposes

    Author : Anna Vesterlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nuclear forensics; americium; signatures; uranium; gamma spectrometry; abundance;

    Abstract : Nuclear forensics is a scientific discipline that aims to aid in criminal investigations concerning illicit use of nuclear and other radioactive material. The discipline aims to find signatures within the nuclear material that can help to find the attribution, or the origin and intended use of the seized material. READ MORE

  4. 2. METHOD DEVELOPMENT FOR SIGNATURES IN NUCLEAR MATERIAL FOR NUCLEAR FORENSIC PURPOSES

    Author : Anna Vesterlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Uranium; Nuclear forensics; Lanthanide patterns; ICP-MS; gamma spectrometry; 241Am;

    Abstract : Nuclear forensics is a scientific discipline where signatures in nuclear and other radioactive material are investigated and evaluated in order to aid in criminal investigations concerning these materials. Examples of signatures that may be useful is the age and isotopic composition of the nuclear material and trace elements in the material. READ MORE

  5. 3. Radiation Detection Techniques for the Enhancement of Nuclear Safety

    Author : Petty Bernitt Cartemo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []

  6. 4. Analysis of domestic dog mitochondrial DNA sequence variation for forensic investigations

    Author : Helen Angleby; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biotechnology; forensics; mtDNA; control region; hair; domestic dog; breed; Bioteknik; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The first method for DNA analysis in forensics was presented in 1985. Since then, the introduction of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has rendered possible the analysis of small amounts of DNA and automated sequencing and fragment analysis techniques have facilitated the analyses.
