  • Scintillation detectors and methods of preparation and use thereof
    Patent number: 11762109
    Abstract: Described herein are scintillation detectors such as alpha- and beta-particle scintillation detectors along with methods of preparing and using such detectors. The scintillation detector comprises a protective layer including light-blocking nanoparticles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2021
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: Corvid Technologies LLC
    Inventors: Sean Matthew Hunt, Stephen Michael Daigle, Kristopher Reidar Vorren
  • Methods and systems for evaluating a target using pulsed, energetic particle beams
    Patent number: 11726069
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a target, the target having a surface, includes pulsing a defined, energetic particle beam through the surface and into the target such that particle energy deposition from the particle beam is concentrated in a subsurface target volume within a target medium of the target. The deposited particle energy induces a thermoelastic expansion of the target medium in the target volume that generates a corresponding acoustic wave. The method further includes detecting the acoustic wave from the target medium.
