Group II Fluoride Coated Scintillating Optical Fibers

这是SBIR第一阶段奖的发展小说 用于离子化的无机增强纤维 辐射成像探测器 在第一阶段，计划是使用金属有机化学蒸气 涂覆不连续长度的坚固石英的沉积技术 具有无机氟化钡薄膜或 氟化钙澄清剂。 拟议的研究将 有助于发展成像辐射探测器， 工业X射线或紫外线医疗成像和诊断工具 用于反应堆和核工业监测的传感器， 能源核物理研究。

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.
