Beamline 2: Absolute Source-Based Radiometry

Absolute source-based radiometry is founded in the traceability of a light source’s output to measurable operational parameters. The absolute irradiance at BL-2

Cabinet x-ray system

The Smiths Detection 6046si cabinet x-ray system was designed for security screening of bags, parcels and other objects of similar size. The system runs at 160

Calibrations: Gamma-ray Spectrometry System

The NIST high resolution gamma-ray spectrometry facility is composed of six High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors and a silicon-drifted detector. The HPGe

Cold Neutron Imaging Instrument

The Cold Neutron Imaging Instrument (CNII) was designed to be a flexible space to test, develop, and employ novel neutron imaging methods to realize different

Cryogenic Decay Energy Spectrometry

Cryogenic detectors provide some of the highest energy resolution spectra available, due to their intrinsic low thermal noise. The NIST cryogenic decay energy

Instrument Testing for Radiation Detection Systems

As part of the building 245 modernization project, NIST has built a new facility designed to allow the testing of small radiation detection instruments, such as

Neutron Imaging Detector Suite

The most commonly used detector at the NIST imaging beamlines is a lens coupled camera detector box shown in Figure 1. The spatial resolution and field-of-view

Neutron Imaging Facility (NIF)

Summary The NIST Neutron Imaging Facility provides users with a unique “plug and play” approach to imaging operating fuel cells, electrolyzers, and lithium-ion

Neutron Interferometry and Optics Facilities

The Neutron Interferometry and Optics Facilities (NIOFs) are the World's premier facilities for neutron interferometry and related optical measurements. Neutron

Radiopharmaceutical Standardization Laboratory

Radioactivity measurements for diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine in the United States are based on measurements at NIST. Activity measurements for γ

Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility SURF III

The Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility SURF III is operated by the Optical Radiation Group as a stable light source for radiometry and research. SURF
