In order to try to pin down the ratio of pure selenium to the selenium in the soil, try using a 2 channel window to find the signal. The error in the signal will be found by standard error propagation in mathematica. Since the max value is fixed, it does not appear in the stats box, but I have included it in the table.

Below is a plot of the ratio of the activities where the pure selenium sample has been time corrected back to match the run time of the mixture.

170063 MixVsPureRatio ThinWindowMethod.png

Note that this does give the expected result that the ratio between the two samples is statistically the same as 0.5, which is the ratio of the masses. The only problem here is that the error is quite large, The average of the uncertainty divided by the mean is 39.6%.

Below are the half life plots for the Pure Selenium sample and the ash mixture

The slope of the mixture plot gives a half life of 63.48 +/- 26.85 minutes. This does overlap, but the error is extremely large.

The slope of the pure selenium sample plot gives a half life of 56.08 +/- 16.33 minutes. Again this does overlap, but the error is still quite large.

The ratio of the initial activities is 0.49 +/- 0.13. Now this does fall within 1 standard deviation of 0.5, which is the value we want.
