Operational Capabilities
(all models except where noted)
SEARCH MODES: Gamma and neutron (if applicable) count rates are presented as a time tracking strip chart. Neutron counts are displayed in red and gamma counts in blue.
MONITOR MODE: Detective collects one spectrum per second and runs the ID algorithm against an 8 second sliding average. More sensitive to sources which move relative to the instrument. Monitor mode is a valuable search method, but is also useful, for example, in ad-hoc portal monitoring applications.
SNM Search Mode: SNM Search mode is designed to help avoid false negatives when determining SNM. It helps in finding the point of maximum count rate which COULD be consistent with SNM.
Key regions of the spectrum are monitored which are critical to the determination of both U-235 (the key constituent of HEU) and Pu-239. The peak region confidence level is displayed in the form of a bar graph. A high and steady reading indicates that "something" is present which is worthy of more investigation. Once the maximum reading has been located, the "confirm" key initiates the full identification algorithm.
SNM Search mode is an INDICATOR of SNM but should always be followed by the confirmatory ID to avoid false positives. In combination, SNM Search and ID modes minimize BOTH false negatives and false positives.

GAMMA DOSE RATE: Gamma Dose Rate is monitored by the HPGe detector and by an internal compensated GM tube. The dose rate is displayed at all times. Dose rate units may be chosen as µSv/hr or mrem/hr.
NEUTRON COUNT RATE (-EX models): Neutron Count Rate is displayed continuously. The data can be quickly saved and transmitted for further offsite analysis.
GPS Position Information: An internal GPS receiver displays GPS coordinates which may be saved along with spectrum data for future use.
Storage of Data (spectrum, search data, ID results): To internal RAM and removable SD card.
Computer Interfacing: USB connection to laptop. Spectral transfer by MicroSoft® ActiveSync. Remote control via MicroSoft "remotedsp.exe". Wi-fi (802.11) communication.
All models feature a large, bright and clear LCD Display with touch-sensitive screen. The figure shows the main operator screen. Gamma and neutron (-EX) count rate and gamma dose rate are displayed continuously both numerically and in bar graph form. The battery life remaining is shown at the top.
Operating Modes
In response to customer requests, Detective instruments can now operate in two modes "Classify" and "ANSI".
Classify Mode: The user presses the Identify button and the instrument gathers data until manually stopped, without preset. During the acquisition, suspected nuclide classification messages appear, such as "Suspect Industrial 1", meaning the presence of one industrial nuclide is suspected. As the count continues and confidence levels increase, this might change to "Found Industrial 1" or disappear as better statistics determine the previously suspected nuclide was not, in fact, present. Clicking on the "Found" or "Suspect" message gives a listing of which nuclides were actually found (or suspected) by name.
ANSI Mode: This mode is similar to classify mode, but dispenses with the classification, and presents nuclide names directly, both suspect and found.

Detective-EX/DX-100T

Preset Time: This is to allow for CONOPS* in which it is required to count for a preset time, for example 60 seconds. At the end of the preset period, only what has been found is reported, no suspects are reported. The operator can request a count time extension, if desired, adding multiples of the original preset period. LCX (Low-Confidence Expert) ID Mode: LCX mode is password protected. LCX denotes "Low Confidence-Expert," and is intended for expert users. This identification mode displays suspected threat alarms and identifications at a lower confidence level than the normal mode. This results in more hits on suspected threat nuclides. Instrument Calibration: The instrument is calibrated prior to shipment from the factory. The energy calibration may be checked and adjusted with any known source with a clean gamma ray between 0 and 3 MeV. A higher energy is recommended. Cs-137 is often used. Calibration can be manual or automatic. Background collection is now a required part of calibration. By allowing for activities already in the background, the system will no longer report nuclides detected in the background. These IDs on former versions sometimes lead to user-confusion. The background must be updated on a schedule which is chosen by the privileged user. SMART Stabilizer: The "smart stabilizer" stabilizes the gain very precisely on the 1460 keV peak of K-40, if present. The smart part is that if there is no K-40 present or if Eu-152 is detected, which could interfere with the K-40 peak, the stabilizer setting is held but not adjusted until "normal" conditions return. Even though the Detective is a highly stable instrument, the smart stabilizer allows accurate determination of more complicated mixed spectra.

Classify Mode The form of the primary ID messages is:
"Found CLASS(#)" or "Suspect CLASS(#)" where "CLASS" is
Medical Industrial NORM Bremsstrahlung Other Nuclear Uranium Nuclear Plutonium Nuclear Neptunium
And "#" is the number of nuclides of that class identified.
The following table lists the Detective Library v8.5 radionuclides according to their categories in the "Classify" ID mode.

Classify Mode Messages The following explains the criteria for selected Classify ID Display Mode messages.
HEU (highly enriched uranium): This message is displayed if the major lines of uranium are detected and the ratios of the intensities of the lines indicates the U-235 content to be above about 70%.
Am241 (unshielded) in the "Industrial" category: This message is displayed if the 59 keV peak is located. It could mean that an Am-241 source such as a smoke detector is present. Move closer to the source and/or count longer. This will allow the higher-energy gamma rays to accumulate in the spectrum, in case plutonium is also present.
Unknown Peak and Unknown/Beta Emitter: This indicates the gamma count rate is higher than can be accounted for based on the peaks in the library. The implication is that either an unexpected nuclide or a beta emitter is present (beta emitters typically producing counts over a broad range of energies). Move closer to the source and count longer to determine the nature of the suspect item. If another ID is found, then the Unknown Peak or the Unknown/Beta Emitter ID are suppressed.
"Found Nuclide" Screen Messages RDD Detected: This message is posted when estimated activity is >100 mCi, whether the activity is from threat or innocent nuclides. The gamma count rate and dose rate meters on the Survey Mode and ID Mode screens display a flashing red background and extremely high count and dose rates.
ANSI Mode Messages The table is divided according to the threat category used to determine ID background color in Monitor Mode and on the Found and Suspect Nuclide reports, e.g., green for innocent IDs, yellow for LCX-mode suspects, and red for threats. NB: if desired and under password protection, the color coding, and therefore the threat classification can be disabled.

Display
All -EX/-DX models feature the same bright and clear VGA resolution display with touch sensitive operator screen. Menu navigation is highly intuitive. The radionuclide gammaray spectrum may be displayed and manipulated (e.g., vertical scale, zoom) like a conventional multichannel analyzer. Y-axis units are now displayed.
Power Sources
Detective can draw power from a variety of sources. For initial cool down from ambient temperature, the Detective is placed on the docking station, or attached to the compact AC/Power Adapter/Charger (PAC). The docking station provides small air movers to assist with initial cool down in conditions of high ambient temperature (>40°C) and incorporates a source holder for the optional CS-137 calibration check source. The docking station is recommended for high ambient temperatures. The PAC is the much more compact solution. K-40, as found in dietary salt substitute, is an easy to obtain calibration check source for use with the PAC.
The optional source is ~0.25-µCi (9250 Bq) solid and sealed. It is an exempt quantity under U.S. and European regulations and is only supplied pre-installed by ORTEC (not separately).
Gamma-Ray Identification Performance Data for Uranium and Plutonium
(Typical values based on data obtained from actual measurements by ORTEC personnel.)
Single Sources Unless otherwise stated, these data were taken at a standard dose rate from the source of 500 nSv/h measured with a calibrated dose rate meter at the instrument detector face according to ANSI N42.34. When an absorber was present, the dose rate at the detector was measured THROUGH the absorber.
Unshielded and Shielded Uranium: DU, U-NAT, LEU, HEU The time to identify as uranium, either unshielded or shielded by up to 5 mm steel, is <2.5 sec. For LEU and HEU samples, the type ("LEU" or "HEU") is also reported in <2.5 sec. LEU and HEU samples shielded by 1.6 mm lead are identified as Uranium in <2.5 sec.

Unshielded and Shielded Plutonium: Weapons Grade (WG), Reactor Grade (RG) (~60­93% 239Pu) Time to identify as Pu, unshielded or shielded by up to 5 mm steel or 10 mm lead: <13 seconds for all types of Pu (with Cd filter if high Am content). For WG Pu the type "WG Pu" is also reported in less than <35 sec.
Mixtures In all cases, the mixture consists of 500 nSv/h of the "mask" nuclide, added to the specified quantity of uranium or plutonium. The "dose ratio threshold" is defined to be the standard 500 nSv/h dose rate from the mask in ratio to the smallest dose rate from U or Pu detectable in the time stated.
Uranium at 500 nSv/h in the presence of Cs-137 or Co-57 mask (unshielded) Time to identify as uranium <2.5 sec. For LEU and HEU, the type ("LEU" or "HEU") is also reported in <2.5 sec.
Uranium Dose ratio threshold for 60 second measurement in the presence of Cs-137 or Co-57 mask (Dose from mask: Dose from uranium) >7:1 for identification as uranium unshielded >3:1 shielded 5 mm steel >2:1 for reporting as LEU or HEU unshielded >1.5:1 shielded 5 mm steel
Plutonium at 500 nSv/h in the presence of Ba-133 mask Time to identify as Pu <20 sec, unshielded or shielded by 5 mm steel or 10 mm lead. Identified type as RG Pu or WG Pu in <100 sec.
Plutonium Dose ratio threshold for 5 minute measurement in the presence of Ba-133 mask >6:1 for identification as Pu unshielded, >4:1 shielded by 5 mm steel or 10 mm lead. >1:1 for reporting as WG Pu or RG Pu unshielded or shielded by 5 mm steel or 10 mm steel (with Cd filter if high Am content).
Analysis Algorithm Improvements
Detective series instruments have proven highly resistant to false positive and false negative results. Recent improvements to the Detective algorithms have enhanced this already excellent performance still further. In Version 3, the implementation of the background subtraction has removed the reporting of nuclides identified in the background. While technically not an incorrect result, reporting of background nuclides was considered undesirable by some experts. The smart stabilizer has improved the analysis of some difficult masking scenarios.
