The analysis by Coriant of the beta-gamma coincidence data coming from the ARSA systems show a systematic basis towards lower concentrations for all isotopes and a systematic increase in the minimum detectable concentrations. These variations can be directly traced to the method of analysis that is used by the Coriant software compared to the methods that have been developed by the International Noble Gas Experiment collaboration. This report details the differences and suggests solutions where appropriate. The report writers recommend that the algorithm changes be made to the Coriant software to bring up to the international standards.
