Abstract
This program seeks to develop ultrafast, radiation hard, and rugged scintillators for nuclear battlefields based on high melting-point temperatures oxide crystal. Doping, co-doping, and alloying schemes will be explored to reach the target of < 5ns decay time, light yield >1000 ph/MeV, moderate energy resolution <15% energy resolution at 662 keV , and tolerance to high radiation doses as high as 100kGy for nuclear survivability. A commercially-viable growth process will be developed to achieve low production cost. This STTR program is a collaborative effort between the University of Houston (UH) and CapeSym. Radiation hardness measurements will be conducted at Ohio State University Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (OSU-NRL).
Research Objective
The goal of phase II is to continue the R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the project proposed in Phase II. STTRs are completed in conjunction with a research institution.
