Speaker:   Sara Pozzi (University of Michigan)

Title:     (IEEE Talks) Dual Particle (Neutron and Gamma) Imaging

Abstract: (Remote only)
--------
The Dual-Particle Imager (DPI) is an instrument based on scintillation detectors (liquid organic and sodium iodide) that has been proposed as a device capable detecting, localizing, and characterizing Special Nuclear Materials. The DPI is sensitive to fast neutrons and gamma-rays, with the ability to separately reconstruct images and emitted energy spectra for both particle types. To aid this effort, new advanced imaging techniques are being developed for use with the DPI that improve image resolution and allow for the isolation of emitted energy spectra in a multi-source environment.

The system is fully scalable, and a handheld version of the DPI is also being developed. This smaller system relies on an array of stilbene scintillator bars, which are sensitive to both neutrons and photons. Each bar is read-out using silicon photomultipliers at either end, allowing for axial position sensitivity.
