ACT/SGER: Wide-Area 2D IR Tomography for Tracking and Neutralization of Reactive Plumes

路易斯安那州立大学农业与机械学院的Barry Dellinger教授正在开发多路径FTIR光谱，用于检测有毒或活性化学羽流的存在和移动。这个想法是将开放路径上的多个FTIR测量结果结合在一起，以实时构建特定地理区域上化学物质浓度的准确地图。这项工作是进行实验室实验和计算机模拟，以获得建造战地可部署系统的关键设计参数。两名博士后研究员、一名研究生助理和一名研究助理教授将参与这项关于FTIR断层扫描的工作。该项目将于2004年夏天在路易斯安那州立大学招收NSF-REU项目的本科生。该奖项由NSF和情报界共同支持。数学和物理科学局的反恐方法方案支持基础研究和劳动力发展方面的新概念，有可能对国家安全作出贡献。

ABSTRACTProfessor Barry Dellinger of Louisiana State University & Agricultural and Mechanical College is developing multiple path FTIR spectroscopy for the detection of the presence and movement of toxic or reactive chemical plumes. The idea is to combine multiple FTIR measurements over open paths to construct an accurate map, in real time, of the concentrations of the chemical species over a specific geographic area. The work is to conduct laboratory experimentation and computer simulation to obtain the critical design parameters for the construction of a field deployable system. Two post-doctoral fellows, a graduate assistant and a research assistant professor will be involved in this work on FTIR-tomography. The project will be used to recruit undergraduate students into the NSF-REU program at LSU in summer, 2004.This award is supported jointly by the NSF and the Intelligence Community. The Approaches to Combat Terrorism Program in the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences supports new concepts in basic research and workforce development with the potential to contribute to national security.
