Group II Fluoride Coated Scintillating Optical Fibers

这是SBIR第一阶段的奖励，用于开发用于电离辐射成像探测器的新型无机闪烁纤维。在第一阶段，计划是使用金属有机化学气相沉积技术，用无机氟化钡或氟化钙闪烁体薄膜覆盖离散长度的坚固石英光纤。拟议的研究将有助于开发成像辐射探测器，用于医学成像和诊断工具、反应堆和核工业监测中的工业x射线或紫外线传感器以及高能核物理学研究。

This is an SBIR Phase I award for the development of novel inorganic scintillating fibers for the use in ionizing radiation imaging detectors. In Phase I the plan is to use metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technology to coat discrete lengths of robust quartz optical fibers with thin films of inorganic barium fluoride or calcium fluoride scintillators. The proposed research will lend to the development of imaging radiation detectors useful in medical imaging and diagnostic tools, in industrial x-ray or UV sensors in reactor and nuclear industry monitoring and in high energy nuclear physics research.
