Laboratory Area |
|||
 |
 |
||
| This is the main laboratory area with concrete shielding for experiments involving radiation. | This is the control area for the neutron generator. | ||
 |
 |
||
| This is a prototype luggage scanner system with a few detectors attached, along with modular digital signal processors. | This is a 100% high purity germanium (HPGe) detector, used for high resolution gamma spectroscopy, with a liquid nitrogen (LN2) dewar attached for cooling. | ||
 |
 |
||
| This is dark box for light-sensitive experiments along with a crate of electronics. | This is a custom dual-3 GHz computer used for data acquisition and analysis. | ||
 We use a Davis Vantage Pro2 to monitor atmospheric conditions and study correlations between environmental factors and equipment performance. Click here for current weather conditions! |
|||
Miscellaneous |
|||
| We also have a computer farm which consists of 24 CPUs ranging from 1.5-1.8 GHz (16 are 64-bit processors, the other 8 are 32-bit) with 512 MB of memory each, totaling 12 GB. It is primarily used for Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP). | |||
| A clean room is currently under construction for work involving certain detectors and scintillators. | |||
