Investigation of Novel Glass Scintillators for Gamma Ray Detection

Abstract

Develop a new class of high performance, large volume, low cost gamma-ray detectors. A unique approach to combine the high sensitivity of inorganic crystal scintillators with chalcogenide glass and glass ceramic technology. The material development effort will be aided by a new capability in time-resolved ultrafast X-Ray spectroscopy.
