Abstract:The Phase I effort successfully integrated micro-APD arrays into a detection system that can accommodate many microscale analysis platforms, including genomic-based systems on glass, silicon, plastic and PDMS (poly-dimethylsiloxane). We demonstrated thefeasibility of our detection platform by… more
Abstract:Scientists have used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) over the past decade to perform elemental analysis of soil, water and gases. The formation of laser-induced plasma, which produces a localized blackbody source for atomic emissions, enables this technology. Collection of the plasma's… more
Abstract:60344 The identification of fast, bright scintillators is a continual goal among scientists who design and manufacture radiation detection systems. Unfortunately, the scintillator is often the limiting technology that impedes product development and adds substantial cost. Many materials… more

Abstract:High speed x-ray imaging is extremely important for several military and civilian applications such as imaging exploding land mines, high speed computed tomography for medical imaging, time resolved x-ray diffraction of biological systems, and drugdevelopment research. The advent of high flux,… more
Abstract:A critically important region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray band from 10 KeV to a few MeVs. In this band, a wealth of astrophysical processes occur in an even greater diversity of astrophysical objects and phenomena, both on a compact and diffuse scale.… more

Abstract:65573 The use of neutrons for materials characterization is growing. As more powerful neutron sources become available, corresponding advances in neutron detectors will be required. However, advances in neutron detectors have come slowly, compared to other types of detectors (x-rays, charged… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Breast carcinoma is the leading cause of
cancer in women in the U.S. It is well known that if breast cancer is
detected when the tumor is small and axillary nodes are not involved, the
survival rate is very high. However, if the… more
Abstract:Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) is the room temperature x-ray detector of choice for non-destructive imaging applications. Monolithic arrays with high count rate capability (> 1 x 106 counts/pixel) are required for ultra-fast hyperspectral x-ray imaging.Presently, the yield of CZT arrays which can… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Early detection of breast tumors is
critical to the successful treatment of breast cancer. At present, x-ray
mammography is the only imaging modality with a proven capability for detecting
early-stage breast cancer and reducing… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): CsI doped with thallium is one of the most
important scintillators currently in use. In terms of conversion of ionizing
radiation to visible photons, it is the unquestioned leader in efficiency.
Additionally, its high density, high atomic… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an
in vivo analog of autoradiography and has the potential to become a powerful
new tool in imaging biological processes in small laboratory animals. With
the ever increasing number of human disease… more
There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
