This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a small, low-cost, digital, all solid state detector system containing a solid-state gamma-ray detector, a solid-state neutron detector, and a low power Si CMOS signal conditioning chip. These detectors will be combined with existing electronics component technology to create small radiation monitoring systems with visual readout and presettable audio alarm levels suitable for discrete site installation in strategic locations or for personal wear. The commercial application of this project will be to detect clandestine nuclear weapons and radioactive "dirty bombs". There is a need for such systems for use at strategic sites and for use by individuals such as dock workers, postal employees, private package transport personnel, and airport workers.

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将开发一个小型，低成本，数字化，全固态探测器系统，包含一个固态伽马射线探测器，一个固态中子探测器和一个低功耗硅CMOS信号调理芯片。这些探测器将与现有的电子元件技术相结合，以创建小型辐射监测系统，该系统具有视觉读数和预先确定的音频警报水平，适合在战略位置或个人佩戴的离散现场安装。该项目的商业应用将是探测秘密核武器和放射性“脏弹”。需要这样的系统用于战略地点和由个人使用，例如码头工人、邮政雇员、私人包裹运输人员和机场工人。
