Diagnostic Testing and NIKE Experiments

Abstract

Under this contract we have developed a Monte Carlo model of microchannel plate performance, made measurements for comparison with the model, and identified potential strategies for improving the performance of microchannel plates in analog imaging applications. This has prepared us to address the optimization of x-ray framing cameras for NRL applications and long-term possibilities for improvements in performance. In addition, we participated in work at NIKE and gained experience relevant to working in the NIKE environment.
