    • Characterizing Best Methods for Improving Light Yield in CsI(Tl) Scintillators 
      Vincent, Kensington Nicole
      Due to excess gravitational force in the observable universe, it is estimated that 85% of the matter in the universe does not interact with electromagnetic, or light, waves. This matter has been dubbed “Dark Matter:”, and ...
    • Experiments in Moving Toward a Feasible Strip-PET Scanner 
      Merritt, Joseph Wayne (2015-09-23)
      For many years, PET scanning devices have been effective in many areas of medicine, particularly in functional imaging and detection of cancer. However, the most common designs are costly, and could be made more efficient. ...
    • Hand Held Neutron Detector Development for Physics and Security Applications 
      Baker, William; Campbell, Caitlin E (2013-10-04)
      The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) uses silicon and germanium detectors in the search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP), a candidate for dark matter. Although these detectors are heavily protected with ...
    • A Novel Concept for a Positron Emission Tomography Scanner 
      Kelly, Brian P; Lee, Matthew C; Levin, Elliot; Khatri, Jeena (2014-10-03)
      Positron Emission Tomography (PET) allows physicians and researchers to visualize metabolic data in the human body and is widely used in cancer and neurological imaging. Traditional PET scanners consist of a thin ring of ...
