The properties of currently available materials limit the performance of detection systems. For most gamma and neutron detection applications, these materials must be available in large size at a reasonable cost while maintaining the required energy resolution to unambiguously identify various nuclear signatures. New fundamental understanding of the materials properties of recently discovered scintillators will be coupled with numerical simulations of fluid flow and heat\/mass transport to drive the design of new crystal growth furnaces and new growth protocols aimed at demonstrating the potential of large scale production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mariya Zhuravleva secures $2M DHS grant to improve border security using crystal growth tech and gamma-ray detection systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[21,20,23],"class_list":["post-651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-faculty","tag-department-of-homeland-security","tag-mariya-zhuravleva","tag-neutron-detection"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
