- Description
- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY SEEKS PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDUSTRY TO COMMERCIALIZE REAL-TIME GAMMA-RAY SIGNATURE IDENTIFIER Announcement: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking one or more industrial partners to commercialize LLNL's real-time gamma-ray signature identifier. Identification of nuclides measured by gamma-ray spectrometry is traditionally done by identifying the peaks in the unknown spectrum. This identification usually starts with some sort of peak curve fitting. Compton scattering of some gamma-rays causes count data to spread beyond the peak locations to the continuum. This Compton scattered part of the gamma-ray spectrum contains information about the radioactive source and the gamma-ray detector. Shielded sources frequently contain more counts in the continuum than in the peaks, making identification difficult. Ideally, we want to use all available information to best conclude what an unknown source was without requiring knowledge of any shielding. Analyzing both the peaks and continuum is a full spectrum analysis. Automating this process to run unattended on a computer is challenging because of a limited ability to model all the relevant physics for all possible sources and shields. LLNL has developed an approach for full spectrum analysis that uses little computer time, analyzes the full gamma-ray spectrum and can be adjusted to address numerous identification objectives. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's real-time gamma-ray signature identifier should provide a written statement of interest that includes: 1. Company name and address. 2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3. Description of corporate capabilities relevant to commercializing the technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO 76-04. Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest.
