The Standard Deconvolution Analysis Tool (SDAT) was developed for analysis of radioxenon ß-? coincidence spectra measured as part of the International Monitoring System (IMS) as defined in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The SDAT software analyzes each ß-? coincidence spectrum by fitting library vectors of each radionuclide of interest: 131mXe, 133mXe, 133Xe, and 135Xe. Detector background and radon are incorporated as optional components of the sample solution. Results are reported in mBq m-3. A new graphical user interface has been developed to facilitate ease of use and improve the data visualization. Automated energy vs. channel calibration algorithms were developed and implemented based on 137Cs ß-? coincidence spectra. Details on the user tool and testing are included.
