MRI RFP

http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2013/nsf13517/nsf13517.htm

Highlights.

"MRI is not used to buy a suite of insturments to outfit research laboratories/facilities or be used to conduct independent research activities simultaneously".

"MRI is used for a single insturment or when combined serves as an integrated instrument."

The photon flux monitor when combined with the rabbit will be an instrument for both isotope production and PAA analysis research. The tool will have inter-disciplinary uses ranging from engineering to archeology.


Track1
Acquisition of a single instrument
Track2
development of a single instrument or for equipment that when combined serves as an integrated instrument.

We will be track 2. The combined equipment will be an integrated instrument for the production of Isotopes to be used in research and industry. The devise will also be an instrument for PAA analysis.

Proposal

Purpose

In June of 2012, the Idaho Accelerator Center received a grant from the state of Idaho as part of the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission (IGEM) program. One of the proposed objectives was to research the production of Copper isotopes for use in medical diagnostic procedures. Preliminary results of the work sponsored by this research have indicated that the production of Copper isotopes has a strong dependence on the photon flux alignment with the target isotope sample. An optimal sample size to maximize production has also been determine. Based on these results, a strong need now exists for a system to monitoring the spatial distribution of the photons used to irradiate the samples. We propose the construction of a beam monitoring system that will be used to optimize photon flux and thereby increasing the efficiency of isotope production at least two fold.

Talking points

1.) The accelerator "Jack" is an instrument for PAA and isotope production

2.) Isotope production impact on other areas of research (medical, fracking, underground pipelines, spikants for homeland security)

3.) Inter organizational use of PAA ( Geology, Archeology, certification for coffee origins....)

4.) Impact of Photon Flux monitoring for PAA analysis

5.) Device will train accelerator physicists, nuclear chemists, ...

Nitrogen tracers: N-15 is rare. If you dope nitrogen sources with it you can see where the leak into environment. This is a stable tracer so it would be able to monitor long time plume expansions.
