D-T neutron generators have been used as an active interrogation source for associated particle imaging techniques. The reaction yields a 14-MeV and alpha particle. kinetics of the allow directionality timing to be determined utilizing position sensitive detectors both neutron. This information may applications. Since are required form images, improved certainty in directional will result performance. requires maximum light transmission from its origin scintillator conversion at photosensor....
A technique of laser-etching repeating micrometer-scale structures into the exit surface a thin, YAP:Ce scintillator to increase light extraction has been performed. Different etching techniques were performed on single, monolithic crystal using varying laser power study how is influenced by these different treatments. For best case, 90.4% in was measured without optical coupling, which compares photonic techniques. This finds application associated particle imaging (API) where no coupling...
Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) neutron generators have seen increasing use as high energy sources tor active, nondestructive assay in arms control, treaty verification, and nuclear homeland security applications. The D-T reaction produces a 3.5 MeV alpha 14.1 that travel opposite directions, which facilitates transmission stimulated fission tomography to reconstruct images of inspection objects closed containers infer isotopic geometric information. However, the accuracy this information is...
Prompt gammas from induced fission could potentially be a valuable signature to use for detection of special nuclear materials like highly enriched uranium. Detectability requires an understanding both signal and background, the background uranium can understood using depleted as surrogate. In order study prompt gamma active backgrounds through photofission, combination measurements Idaho Accelerator Center 44 MeV Electron Linear Monte Carlo N-Particle simulations were used. this paper, we...
ZnO:Ga films are attractive phosphors for a number of high energy physics and security applications because their extremely fast temporal response (typically less than 1 ns). Significant efforts have been undertaken to study the dependence luminescence properties on dopant constituency temperature. However, most these studies simply report decay time phosphor, there is lack published values measured timing resolution with ZnO:Ga. This work aims present achievable through predictive models...
