Uncertainty propagation in nuclear forensics
Uncertainty propagation formulae are presented for age dating in support of nuclear forensics. The age of radioactive material in this context refers to the time elapsed since a particular radionuclide was chemically separated from its decay product(s). The decay of the parent radionuclide and ingrowth of the daughter nuclide are governed by statistical decay laws. Mathematical equations allow ...
متن کاملUncertainty in Live Forensics
The goal of live digital forensics is to collect crucial evidence that cannot be acquired under the well-known paradigm of post-mortem analysis. Volatile information in computer memory is ephemeral by definition and can be altered as a consequence of the live forensic approach. Every running tool on an investigated system leaves artifacts and changes the system state. This paper focuses on the ...
متن کاملUncertainty Quantification and Propagation in Nuclear Density Functional Theory
Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is one of the main theoretical tools used to study the properties of heavy and superheavy elements, or to describe the structure of nuclei far from stability. While on-going efforts seek to better root nuclear DFT in the theory of nuclear forces [see Duguet et al., this issue], energy functionals remain semi-phenomenological constructions that depend on a...
متن کاملUncertainty propagation or box propagation
This paper discusses the use of recently developed techniques and software in the numerical propagation of uncertainties in initial coordinates and/or parameters for initial value problems. We present an approach based on several validated numerical integration techniques but focusing on the propagation of boxes. The procedure uses a multivariable high order Taylor series development of the sol...
متن کاملChallenges in Bulk Nuclear Forensics Sample Analysis
Analytical chemistry operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) support technical nuclear forensics by providing chemical and physical measurements of bulk special nuclear material for a consortium of key United States (US) government agencies. Capabilities to support the nuclear forensic mission continue to evolve from the basic analyt...
