A photoacoustic detection of tritiated water (HTO) is presented. The method uses cantilever-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (CEPAS) to reach sub-ppb sensitivity for HTO in the gas phase. A noise equivalent concentration of 0.88 ppb is reached with a sampling time of 1 min. The high performance and small sample volume of CEPAS allows sensitive detection of HTO from a sample with low total activity.
本文介绍了一种用于检测氚化水（HTO）的光声检测方法。该方法采用悬臂增强光声光谱法（CEPAS），可实现气相中HTO的亚ppb级灵敏度检测。在1分钟的采样时间下，噪声等效浓度达到0.88 ppb。CEPAS的高性能和小样本量使得能够从总活度较低的样本中灵敏地检测出HTO。
