Advanced nanocomposite scintillator for gamma radiation detection
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: DTRA08005Until now gamma radiation detection has required large single crystals of sensitive materials that are difficult to produce consistently on an industrial scale. In collaboration with a research group at the University of Texas at Arlington, Agiltron proposes to develop a new class of nanocomposite scintillator materials. The radiation detection characteristics of the synthetic nanoparticles in the ...

Improvements in Scintillation Technology for Detection of Nuclear Radiation
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA07004High-resolution scintillation crystals and crystal arrays are important components of current and future handheld and arrayed detectors (used for DOD/DTRA applications), and scintillation spectrometers (routinely used in high energy physics research, medical imaging, diffraction, homeland security, nuclear waste clean-up, nuclear treaty verification and safeguards, and geological exploration). Un ...

Optimized Soft Magnetic Electrodes for Ultra-Sensitive Magnetic Tunnel Junction Field Sensors
SBC: Micro Magnetics, Inc. Topic: N/AThis SBIR project aims to develop a new class of low-field magnetic sensors based on magnetic tunnel junctions with magnesium oxide (MgO) tunnel barriers. The phase 1 effort aims to maximize the high-frequency sensitivity of the MgO-MTJ sensor devices by optimizing the magnetic characteristics of the free electrode. By using new and novel combinations of magnetic materials, in conjunction with pro ...

Development and Manufacturing of Lightweight Textile Fire Barrier for Furniture and Mattresses
SBC: Tex Tech Industries Inc. Topic: N/ANew fire barrier methods are necessary to protect furniture and mattresses from fire. Current California (and soon National) regulations require mattresses to be able to pass the mattress fire burn test. Typical barrier fabrics use self extinguishing fibers with high limiting oxygen index (LOI) to create a barrier that the flame cannot pass. A second approach creates a carbon barrier that is forme ...

"Typical day" Meteorological Data for Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion (ATD) Modeling
SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: DTRA06004The complexity of Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion (ATD) modeling requires physically consistent weather data evolving in both space and time. Spatially and/or temporally averaged data found in climatological products is not suitable for ATD modeling. The proposed solution for providing “typical day” meteorological data couples innovative search techniques applied to long-range historical ...

Extending DTRA's Atmospheric Transport and Diffusion Modeling Capabilities to the Upper Atmosphere
SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH, INC. Topic: DTRA06005Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc. proposes to develop a prototype threat-reduction system for the dispersion of a weapons-of-mass destruction warhead in the upper atmosphere. Our system will extend current DTRA atmospheric transport and dispersion capabilities into the 20-120 km altitude region. This will be accomplished using a combination of a zonally-averaged transport model of the s ...

High Resolution, Room Temperature Semiconductor Detectors
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA05006Proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons is a serious threat in the world today. Prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years, especially since the events on September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Gamma ray spectrometers are an important tool in checking the proliferation of the nuclear weapons. Important re ...

Low-cost Individual Digital Dosimeters using Solid State Photomultipliers
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA05007U.S. forces working in low-level radiation environments have unsatisfactory choices for monitoring radiation exposure. A solid-state photomultiplier (SSPM) uses an array of silicon based avalanche photodiodes (APD) to collect light and produce a signal proportional to the amount of light collected. The ability to produce arrays of APD’s in a CMOS (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) envir ...

Robot-mounted Mulit-mode Imaging System for IED Detection
SBC: American Science and Engineering, Inc. Topic: DTRA06008The proposed muti-mode imaging system will allow a combination of X-ray Backscatter imaging (proven successful in finding IEDs in AS&E's Z Backscatter Van) and other sensor modalities, such as vapor/trace detection and video, to be mounted on a robotic platform(the iRobot R-Gator) such that the system can be quickly moved into location to examine a potential threat, including WMD dispersal devices ...
