665-0154, or E-mail: Irowton@lanl.gov. The University of California,
which operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract
to the Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies wishing
to collaborate, develop and then market a unique technology related to
scintillators for high energy physics applications. In particular, the
proposed collaboration is based on the accelerated development of new,
bright, heavy, fast scintillators for fast digital radiography. In
general, Los Alamos has an extensive background in optical materials,
and related materials synthesis and characterization, and we offer our
expertise in solving problems related to these areas with specific
defense program and industrial applications in mind. Correspondingly,
the candidate company should have a well-developed background in single
crystal synthesis, preferably with experience in growth of high melting
point oxides, particularly using Czochralski and related growth
methods. It is expected that this teaming of basic and applied skills
will be an effective and valuable asset for the industrial partner as
well as DOE. All organizations interested in collaborating with LANL to
work toward co-developing the Technology must provide proof, in a
written letter of interest, that they satisfy the following minimum
criteria: Interested parties must possess, or have access to, existing
capabilities in research, development, marketing and support services
in the domestic marketplace, preferably related to this technology.
Such organizations with expertise in the above-mentioned areas must
respond with a statement of interest that demonstrates the
organization's solid crystal growth expertise, their facility and
operational support capabilities, and motivation for participating in
this program. This opportunity is not a procurement solicitation. Any
interested organization selected as a partner will be expected to work
under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) or a
Funds-In Agreement (FIA) to continue the development of this technology
and adaptation to other applications. All letters of interest must be
received by no later than 10 working days from the date of this notice.
The letter of interest must contain all of the above requested
information or the submitting organization will not be considered as a
possible candidate for partnership. (0310) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0007 19971110\A-0007.SOL)
