- LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY ANNOUNCES OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCED LASER-BASED, GAMMA-RAY SYSTEMS Opportunity : Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is a national security laboratory managed as a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO), federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). LLNL seeks a commercial partner for collaborative research and development on laser-based, mono-energetic gamma-ray (MEGa-ray) sources. LLNL expertise and capabilities are available on an exclusive basis subject to DOE requirements and priorities, and subject to complementary research interests with LLNL. Background: Over the past decade LLNL has both invented the concepts for and led the world in the development of laser-based, mono-energetic gamma-ray (MEGa-ray) sources. These sources, which combine high-energy, high-average-power lasers and compact, high-gradient, RF-accelerator technology promise to revolutionize both nuclear physics and to enable a wide range of unique, isotope-specific material detection, assay and imaging applications. Project Description: The selected industrial partner and LLNL will enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to develop the next generation of laser technologies for MEGa-ray systems and to create a next generation of MEGa-ray sources that could be marketed to both the industrial and academic communities. The MEGa-ray system developed will be based on LLNL's proprietary, multi-GHz Compton scattering interaction geometry, calorimetric gamma-ray detectors, multi-GHz, photo-gun drive laser technology and kW-average-power, diode-pumped pulsed laser technology. The resulting integrated MEGa-ray source will be unique in the world and will target emerging business and science opportunities both in the U.S. and Europe. The successful execution of this CRADA will enable the U.S. to establish industrial leadership in several key laser, accelerator and gamma-ray technology areas. It is anticipated that the activity will also increase U.S. competitiveness internationally in the areas of compact accelerator technology. At the conclusion of the CRADA project, the industrial partner will have the right to license from LLNL any associated pre-existing MEGa-ray-related intellectual property as well as any MEGa-ray-related laser, gamma-ray, accelerator and detector intellectual property generated during the course of the CRADA activity. Areas for Respondent Feedback: Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Respondents to this opportunity must describe specific capabilities, attributes, and skills directly related to the following areas. Required Criteria: 1. Company Name, address, telephone number, and website 2. The name, telephone number, email address of a point of contact 3. Description of corporate related experience, expertise, capabilities relevant to the commercial laser systems market 4. Experience related to design and construction of compact, energetic laser technology and associated control systems. 5. Demonstrated ability to bring innovations to the market 7. Interest in performing and/or funding cooperative research at the LLNL 8. Sufficient resources and experience to accomplish deployment and commercialization 9. Relevance for LLNL's mission and economic development interests 10. Substantial manufacturing and operations presence in the United States Optional Criteria: 1. Experience in working with Federal Government CRADA agreements 2. Knowledge of U.S. Federal Export Control rules and regulations. Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Advanced Laser-Based, Gamma-Ray Systems technology collaborative research, development and business opportunity. Please visit the IPO website at: https://ipo.llnl.gov/?q=resources-industry-working_with_us for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Responses should be submitted by December 28, 2012, via e-mail directed to: Business Development Executive Catherine Elizondo elizondo1@llnl.gov Or Business Development Associate Connie Pitcock pitcock1@llnl.gov Attention: FBO 263-13
