2012 Impact on Scientific Community
PNNL Team Credited with Third Most Downloaded Article
The publication, Nuclear Instruments And Methods In Physics Research Section A (NIM-A), has credited a team of researchers within NSD for having the third most downloaded NIM-A article in 2011. Congratulations to Dick Kouzes, James Ely, Azaree Lintereur, Mitchell Woodring, Daniel Stephens, and Emily Mace on this notable achievement.
The research paper focuses on the shortage of Helium-3 used in neutron detection applications — namely radiation portal monitor systems — and how this shortage has triggered the search for effective alternative neutron detection technologies for national security and safeguards applications. It was the culmination of a team effort in this area of research of significance to national security. (announced 6/1/2012)
