Progress in instrumenting the nitrogen/carbon cameras
- World Physics Technologies, Blacksburg, Virginia 24060 (United States)
We have imaged in the laboratory elemental nitrogen/carbon concentrations by inducing {sup 14}N({gamma},2p){sup 12}B, {sup 14}N({gamma},2n){sup 12}N, and {sup 13}C({gamma},p){sup 12}B reactions and detecting resulting {gamma}-rays with energies above {approximately}1MeV during a {approximately}5 to 40 ms interval after irradiation. We are now developing instrumentation with which to capture these images in field deployable Nitrogen and Carbon Cameras. Here we describe our progress in developing suitable light sources (compact, mobile 70 MeV electron accelerators), detector materials (bright, dense, rugged scintillators and large, room temperature semiconductors), and arrays of detectors (densely packed, durable, and automated.) {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
