ISTI at SnT Online

“I just took the week-long ISTI EW class, and as the saying goes, ‘like drinking from a firehose’ it was a fun and rewarding week. I learned a lot!”
— ANGEL RODRIGUEZ
“The discussions and demos on the EW modules were very helpful in conveying the 'nesting' of the modules and their complex interactions. This course was just that I needed.”
— A 2021 EARTHWORM COURSE STUDENT
“Even though I already knew about most of the different pieces involved in AQMS, this course provided me with the whole picture and explained how all those different parts are tied together.”
— A 2021 AQMS STUDENT
“Hands-on Demonstrations. [The instructors] wer all great about explaining the goal, and were helpful when issues arose.”
— AN ISTI SOFTWARE TRAINING STUDENT
“The most valuable portion was learning the basics of earthworm. I appreciate the walk-throughs of how to set up EW rings and modules.”
— A 2021 EARTHWORM COURSE STUDENT
“EW basics configuration [training was valuable]. Before the course, I had never used EW. Now I have basic knowledge to set and run EW on my own.”
— A 2021 EARTHWORM COURSE STUDENT
“[We received] explanations of the various data, processing flows, configuration examples. In the future I expect the notes to be a valuable reference.”
— A 2021 EARTHWORM COURSE STUDENT

Presentation

  • When: 30 June 2021

  • Time: 9:30am CET – 12:30pm CET*

  • Where: CTBT Science and Technology Conference 2021 (SnT2021) Online

  • Title: STAX Project –Data Analysis and Interactive Data Access

  • Authors/Presenters: Matthias Auer (presenting), Sid Hellman, Mihaela Rizescu

  • Abstract: The STAX (Source Term Analysis of Xenon) project aims at the development of a worldwide network to measure radioxenon isotopes released from medical isotope production facilities. A software package has been developed to fully process STAX data from secure data acquisition at the back end, to interactively viewing data at the front end. This presentation focuses on the analysis of data and on the viewing options of the software. An overall dashboard displays the STAX network state of operation and issues at specific stations can be diagnosed through a State-of-Health data viewing interface. In order to increase the confidence in analysis results, stack release data are analyzed in two parallel pipelines: at the STAX systems data are automatically analyzed using analysis software from the monitoring system manufacturers and on the central STAX server, data are analyzed using the autosaint software. Time series of both data sets can be viewed either individually or together and significant discrepancies between the two analysis pipelines can be displayed. User configurable time windows can be set to calculate emission values for specific time intervals. For each individual sample, the raw data as well as a spectrum chart can be accessed via the time series chart.
