129 Integrated 2-D Silicon Detector for High-Count-Rate, Low-Noise X-Ray Applications--ARACOR, 425 Lakeside Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94086-4704; (408) 733-7780 Dr. Yuzhong June Wang, Principal Investigator Mr. Ed LeBaker, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82330 Amount: $75,000 Detectors used for nuclear physics research, synchrotron applications, and analytical x-ray instruments are cur ...

40344 November 12, 1996 ARACOR Glass capillaries, which have been pulled into focusing geometries with narrow exit apertures, have shown substantial gains for the concentration of 1 to 20 keV x rays into sub-micron beams. These optics have been used on both synchrotron and laboratory x-ray instruments. However, the main barrier to their useful deployment ...

40417 November 18, 1996 American Research Corporation of Virginia This project addresses the hazardous waste problem at Department of Energy sites by developing a new class of ultrafiltration membranes for use in corrosive aqueous or organic streams. These membranes will utilize mesoporous ceramics, which have narrow pore size distributions and tailorabl ...

40063 November 4, 1996 Amparo Corporation First-generation radioactive beam facilities, in use or under construction, cannot completely address many of the scientific opportunities envisioned until an intense production beam is employed. This project addresses a key element in filling this need, the design of high power nuclear targets. The targe ...
