    摘要: A radiation detection apparatus may include a scintillator to emit scintillating light in response to absorbing radiation, a photosensor to generate an electronic pulse in response to receiving the scintillating light, and a reflector surrounding the photosensor. The photosensor may be coupled to a wiring board and the reflector may be coupled to the wiring board. The radiation detection apparatus can be more compact and more rugged as compared to radiation detection apparatuses that include a photomultiplier tube.

    摘要: A substrate can include an optical light guide including a core. The core can include a fluorescent material in a content of greater than 0.5 wt. % for the total weight of the core. In an embodiment, the optical light guide can include a scintillator material. In another embodiment the core can include polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and a polyvinylidene difluoride cladding.

    摘要: A luminescent material can include an element or an interstitial site that provides a hole trap in the luminescent material; a first dopant that provides a first electron trap in the luminescent material; and a second dopant that provides a second electron trap in the luminescent material, wherein the second dopant is a relatively shallower electron trap as compared to the first dopant. In an embodiment, a ratio of the first dopant to the second dopant is in a range of 10:1 to 100:1 on an atomic basis. In another embodiment, a ratio of the first dopant to the second dopant is selected so that luminescent material has a lower average value for a departure from perfect linearity in a range of 5 keV to 20 keV that is less to other luminescent materials of the same base compound. The luminescent material may not be a rare earth halide.

    摘要: Novel transparent composites have been developed that have relatively lower areal densities of conventional transparent composites, where the composites are tested for the same threat levels as specified in the NIT or STANAG standards. Particular transparent composites can withstand projectiles having relatively high kinetic energy, for example, using STANAG 4 testing conditions. Further, the novel transparent composites can withstand multiple hits using Multiple Hit Testing at a STANAG 2 threat level.
