Nuclear recoil detection with color centers in bulk lithium fluoride
Gabriela A. Araujo, Laura Baudis, Nathaniel Bowden +19
We present initial results on nuclear recoil detection based on the fluorescence of color centers created by nuclear recoils in lithium fluoride. We use gamma rays, fast and therma…
First experimental study of multiple orientation muon tomography, with image optimization in sparse data environments
Jesus J. Valencia, Adam A. Hecht, C. L. Morris +4
Due to the high penetrating power of cosmic ray muons, they can be used to probe very thick and dense objects. As charged particles, they can be tracked by ionization detectors, de…
