The high energy physics (HEP) community, scientific and medical communities and the public at large, will benefit from the availability of high sensitivity photo- sensors with improved spatial and temporal resolution that scaled to large areas, and manufactured in a robust, durable compact package at low cost. The Phase I program will address this need, demonstrating feasibility of commercial pro ...

Grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) has been undergoing a revolution recently as a result of the strong emphasis in materials science on surface patterning and thin film structures. This technique is presently the only one available which provides statistical information on nanometer features averaged over large sample sizes, and has become extremely important in the developme ...

The high energy physics (HEP) community, the scientific and medical communities and the public at large, require the availability of high sensitivity photo- sensors with improved spatial and temporal resolution that can be scaled to large areas, and manufactured in a robust, durable, and compact package at a low cost. Phase I successfully demonstrated the underlying enabling scientific and techni ...

The Cosmic-ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) method can measure the water content of soil with 2% accuracy (under optimal conditions) for agriculture-sized (ie., hectometers) scale. The method uses a neutron detector situated above ground in the center of the measurement area, monitoring in real-time the emission of cosmic-ray produced neutrons from the soil. The simple, non-invasive measurement can prov ...

Current accelerator technology has reached the limit in the intensity that can be produced, mostly due to the constrained beam dynamics of the conventional linear lattice. However, a novel concept has recently been developed that promises to significantly increase the practical limits on intensity: a nonlinear, integrable lattice that dramatically increases the stable phase space area in recircula ...

There is a need to develop high-efficiency, high-power rf sources for current and future synchrotron radiation light sources, free electron lasers, and spallation neutron source user facilities. At present, conventional circular-beam klystrons and inductive output tube (IOTs) are the technologies of choice for accelerators for physics research and applications. While a commercially-available, conv ...

Mitigation and recovery from an attack with a chemical or biological agent remains an important challenge for the US Defense and Homeland Security. Solicitation topic CBD13-101 envisions a multifunctional sequestration coating that once applied to a contaminated surface will sequester the contaminating agent, disclose the location of agent contamination, detoxify the agent and be removable so as ...

There is a compelling need for compact high brightness mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) lasers. Applications of such sources include spectroscopic detection of the fingerprint of molecular absorptions, illumination, electronic warfare (EW), and infrared countermeasure (IRCM) systems in response to increasingly sophisticated seeker technologies and increased threat ranges. Todays state-of-the-art hig ...

In this Phase I Small Business Innovative Research project we will be developing extremely efficient (

ABSTRACT: Deployable Space Systems, Inc. (DSS), in partnership with Mark O"Neill LLC (MOLLC) and Emcore Photovoltaics (EMCORE), will focus this effort on the TRL 5/6 development of a new innovative 100X-500X concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) solar array technology (termed CPV-Array). The proposed CPV-Array technology embodiment is a new lightweight high-performance point-focus refractive Fresnel l ...
