DSTL HMEX Reference QC Bounds Generation Using 2023 TP89 and Water Scans [Slides]

This presentation covers the results of new QC bounds generated using data from 10 TP89 reference specimen scans and 30 water scans acquired between January 12 and February 2, 2023. All scan data were acquired on the DSTL HMEX MCT system (in lead cabinet). All data presented were from DSTL’s reconstructions of recent HMEX scans.

Summary Statistics for TA_LH03_130815: Micro-CT Data Acquired at LLNL, Specimen 2 of 3

Using x-ray micro computed tomography (MicroCT), we have characterized the linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), μ, of a sample of a dry powder material, tartaric acid (TA). The specimen was prepared at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), loaded into a 60mL low density polyethylene (LDPE) bottle. After completed packing, the specimen was scanned following the protocol for MicroCT measurements under Test Plan 79.

Summary Statistics for LC_HT02_130812: Micro-CT Data Acquired at LLNL, Specimen 2 of 3

Using x-ray micro computed tomography (MicroCT), we have characterized the linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), μ, of a sample of a dry powder material, lithium carbonate (LC). The specimen was prepared at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), loaded into a 60mL low density polyethylene (LDPE) bottle. After completed packing, the specimen was scanned following the protocol for MicroCT measurements under Test Plan 79. This particular specimen, LC_HT02_130812, recorded the bulk packing density (mass of sample divided by volume of sample) shown above. Two additional preparations were made and analyzed. We used the computer program IMGREC to reconstruct the CT images. The values of the key parameters used in the x-ray data capture and image reconstruction are given in this report. Additional experimental details may be found in the SOP and a separate document. To characterize the statistical distribution of LAC values in each CT image, we first isolated an ~80% region or segment of volume elements (“voxels”) lying completely within the sample, away from the walls of the container. We then calculated the mean value, standard deviation and entropy for (a) the high and low energy image segments and for (b) their digital gradient images. The statistics of the initial image of LAC values are called “first order statistics;” those of the gradient image, “second order statistics.” See Seetho for details of the analysis used to obtain the numbers reported in this document.
