Flash Neutron Imaging [Poster]
The NNSS has extensive historical experience with high-fidelity flash neutron imaging which may be applicable to the needs of NA-22. In recent neutron imaging tests, a dense plasma focus (DPF) discharges a capacitor bank across a hydrogen-filled diode to create a flash of fusion neutrons emitted from a point, which can be used for active interrogation. Object inspection may include both radiography transmission imaging as well as emission imaging of the subject via an aperture. A scintillator screen (coupled to a low-Z converter when necessary) converts deposited energy to visible light, which is relayed through optics to an ultra-sensitive visible imager contained in a light-tight box. Flash photon imaging, utilizing bremsstrahlung emission instead of fusion neutrons, is also available and is more mature.

Time-resolved radioluminescence of the Cu( i ) cluster Cu 4 I 6 2− . Different responses to photo, X-ray, β-ray and α-particle excitation
The temporal response of radioluminescence from crystalline Cu 4 I 6 2− salts displays an initial fast component owing to excited state densities generated by high energy radiation.
