Description
The alpha decay chain 109Xe→105Te→101Sn was first identified at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. Recent developments in digital electronics enabled the detection of both alpha decays despite the short half-life of 105Te. The development of the software algorithm responsible for extracting the double-alpha events from the experimental data is ongoing. The possibility of using the derivative of the double-alpha pulse to selectively identify double alpha pulses shows promise and is being developed
