 David Mitchell and Mr Tim Nicholls\, AWE

DESCRIPTION:The detection of nuclear signatures from key processes or even
 ts has increasing world scale importance for nuclear security applications
  such as nuclear forensics\, nuclear safeguards\, arms control and non-pro
 liferation activities. \nParticle characterisation is a unique area of mat
 erial analysis providing trace signature information from a single micron-
 sized particles to form a picture of a nuclear event or facility and the p
 rocesses undertaken therein.  This lecture provides an overview of the var
 ious particle characterisation techniques used at AWE\, of which mass spec
 trometry is key\, to determine these signatures and includes fictional cas
 e studies\, based on real data\, to illustrate our role in supporting nati
 onal nuclear security for the UK by nuclear signature assessment. \n
