Description
The loss, theft, and smuggling of nuclear materials in an ever-increasingly modernized and connected world may pose a threat to the lives of many. Trafficking networks are finding new ways to smuggle radioactive materials across borders, while the development of detectors has seen little to no improvement.
This project aims to solve this problem through the development of a high-sensitivity Freon-based suspension Superheated Droplet Detector-SDD aided by microphone-based acoustic and optical instrumentation capable of discriminating true nucleation events from background acoustical noise.
