Research abstract
The goal of this program is to fabricate and demonstrate a Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector (SPRD) based on semiconductor sensors, TlBr for gamma detection and LiInSe2 (LIS) for neutron detection. These compact SPRDs will meet or exceed ANSI 42.48 requirements at a low cost. The SPRDs will also have directional capabilities resulting in faster localization of the radiation threat. In phase II of this program, we will fabricate and test the SPRD designed in Phase I.
