Research abstract
The Phase I research effort will focus on developing lanthanide doped x-ray scintillation glasses tundergo concentration quenching at high lanthanide concentrations. The applicants plan to investigatand non radiative energy transfer between lanthanide ions. These glasses should be nearly as efficieanalogous and be significantly more efficient at converting x-ray radiation into visible light thanfor scintillating fiberoptics plates. The glasses developed during the Phase I grant will be comparescintillators. Phase II will concentrate on manufacturing and testing scintillating fiberoptic plate
