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.
A field-deployable device for first responders to quickly assess in real-time and with high confidence the threat level posed by a suspected nuclear weapon.
Small and lightweight CLYC-based neutron detector designed as a direct drop-in replacement for Helium-3 tubes, offering superior neutron and gamma detection and discrimination.
Thallium-doped, high purity, low-background sodium iodide scintillators for dark matter and high energy physics studies, offering ultra-low radioactivity and high sensitivity.
A new material for gamma-ray detection with high light yield, fast response, and very low intrinsic background noise, used in nuclear nonproliferation, medical imaging, and oil well logging.
Large area APDs that improve signal to noise ratio for hybrid PET/MRI systems and LIDAR applications, featuring high quantum detection efficiency and wide spectral response.
A portable X-ray fluorescence system for lead paint analysis, recognized as one of the most successful lead testing instruments developed.
Ceramic lutetium oxide doped with Yb3+ for PET imaging, high energy physics, and radiography, offering high density, fast decay, and high light yield.
RMD partners with U.S. government, corporations, and research institutions to solve complex problems in radiation detection, imaging, nuclear instrumentation, nondestructive testing, and high-speed imaging. They offer extensive scientific and cross-disciplinary expertise, supporting both technology advancement and commercialization.
