Dale Anderson was awarded the Frank Wilcoxon Priz
Dale Anderson was awarded the Frank Wilcoxon Prize for the paper "Detection and Location of Gamma-Ray Sources with a Modulating Coded Mask." Dale, the lead author, was assisted in writing the article by Randy Hansen, Tony Peurrung and Sharon Wunschel, all NSD, and by non-PNNL contributor David Stromswold. The article presents two methods of detecting and locating a concealed nuclear gamma-ray source for applications in national security and threat detection. The article appeared in the May 2006 issue of Technometrics, a journal dedicated to the development and use of statistical methods in the physical, chemical and engineering sciences. The Frank Wilcoxon award is presented to the best practical application paper appearing in the previous year's Technometrics. (announced 10/1/2007)
