Advanced nanocomposite scintillator for gamma radiation detection
SBC: AGILTRON, INC. Topic: DTRA08005Gamma radiation detection has traditionally required single crystal materials that are difficult to produce consistently on an industrial scale. Agiltron has developed a new class of scintillator materials based on composites containing nanoparticles. These so-called nanocomposites exhibit radiation detection characteristics superior to currently available single crystal scintillators. In Phase I ...

A Novel Cost Effective Method for Growing High Performance Radiation Sensors
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA082007Certain lanthanide halides have significantly higher light output than NaI:Tl, the comparison standard for scintillators, plus other important properties, including fast decay times and excellent proportionality. Unfortunately, lanthanide halides grown by traditional melt processes have high production costs and limited availability. Crystals are usually limited to about 5x5 cm2, right cylinder, ...

Inexpensive, disposable radiation detectors
SBC: NANOPTICS, INC. Topic: DTRA082007This proposal concerns the detection of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) by using large networks of small, inexpensive, and robust gamma detectors. These detectors will be deployed where consistent surveillance would be difficult by any other means, like remote mountain trails. The proposal describes a novel gamma detector that is extremely robust and inexpensive. The new scintillation material is ...

Fuel Cells for Arms Control Applications
SBC: PHOTRONIX Topic: N/AFuture efforts to verify arms control agreements will require new technologies that are self-contained and man-portable. Potable power will, of course, be needed to energize and maintain this equipment in an unattended mode. Fuel cells offer the bestalternative for these power requirements, because of their high energy and power density. Unfortunately, there is no current fuel cell technology t ...

Automated Secondary Phase Detection Using Wavelet Techniques
SBC: Weston Geophysical Corp. Topic: N/A"The primary objective of this proposed research is to develop a new detector that uses the wavelet transform for accurate, reliable and automatic detection of secondary phases such as Pg, Lg, and pPn. We propose to extend the semi-automatic waveletdetector of Tibuleac and Herrin (1999) to an automatic, multi-component detector for use on both single-component array data as well as three-componen ...

Radiation Effects Modeling for High Yield, Reliable Integrated Circuits
SBC: AET, Inc. Topic: N/AThe Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) has identified a need to improve the radiation hardness of advanced integrated circuit technologies. To be practical, this must be achieved in a cost effective way. This proposal by AET, Inc. directly addresses these concerns. Specifi-cally, this proposal provides a means to achieve significant advance in radiation hardness of large scale integrated cir ...
