What We Do
A dual-mode gamma-neutron scintillator (Cs2LiYCl6:Ce) that serves as a replacement for both medium resolution gamma-ray detectors and Helium-3 proportional counter tubes for neutron detection. Used in handheld instruments like PRDs, SPRDs, and RIIDs.
A high-resolution, high-light yield, dual-mode scintillator (Cs2LiLa(Br,Cl)6:Ce) for simultaneous gamma-ray and neutron detection, offering excellent pulse shape discrimination and energy resolution.
Scintillator films based on 6LiI:Eu, designed for high spatial neutron imaging resolution applications.
Advanced, high frame rate, large-area, modular X-ray detector for high-speed medical X-ray CT and time-resolved X-ray analysis.
Large-area scintillation films and advanced, high frame rate, modular X-ray cameras for high-speed, high-resolution, high-contrast imaging of dynamic phenomena.
Novel organic scintillator material capable of gamma-ray spectroscopy, efficient fast neutron detection, and excellent pulse shape discrimination.
