Visible to the public A Hybrid Detector Network for Nuclear and Radioactive Threat Detection

Abstract:

Identification and tracking of nuclear materials is a problem of obvious importance, and has attracted a great deal of engineering effort in the recent past. The technical challenges of this problem are compounded by the fact that nuclear materials that are of interest vary widely in their concentrations and compositions, and are often concealed with shielding material, and buried in background radiation that is always present, but varies widely in strength and spectrum over time and space.

Visible to the public A Hybrid Detector Network for Nuclear and Radioactive Threat Detection

Abstract:

The research is along two directions and a number of results have been published or submitted. Physical side: Algorithms have been developed to detect isotopes based on the ideas of group positive Lasso and the total least squares. Two papers have been either published or to appear in Radiation Measurements. Cyber-side: The research focused on detection of unknown sources.
