  • Publication number: 20240134073
    Abstract: A system and a method for the remote monitoring of an irradiated salt mass within a decay enclosure is provided. The system and the method determine a mass ratio of a first radioisotope relative to a second radioisotope, the second radioisotope having a significantly shorter half-life than the first radioisotope. In addition, the second radioisotope includes a shorter half-life than an effective half-life of the decay enclosure, and the first radioisotope includes a longer half-life than the effective half-life of the decay enclosure. The mass ratio quickly decreases outside of a target range after material diversion, while remaining below the target range for several years. As a consequence, the isotopic mass ratio presents a rapid and enduring indicator of inventory change, which is of extreme importance in detecting a diversion of the irradiated salt mass, which remains a potential proliferation target.

  • Publication number: 20240134099
    Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter holder, a first filter set, a second filter set, a third filter set, and a fourth filter set. A first category of filters is capable of changing light effect by rotating. The first category of the filters is served as the first filter set, which is connected to the filter holder, and the light effect is changed by the rotation of the first filter set relative to the filter holder. A second category of filters changes the light effect by two filters relatively rotating or synchronously rotating with the first category of the filters. Regardless of form of rotation, a third category of filters does not change the light effect. The third category of the filters is served as the fourth filter set, which is disposed on a side of the third filter set facing away from the filter holder.

    Abstract: Epoxy-based inline infrared (IR) filter assembly, and manufacture and use of the same. Co-axial infrared filter assemblies comprise a substantially cylindrical filter body forming a central cavity characterized by opposing holes at each end. The filter body forms an outer conductor, and SMA connectors coupled to the opposing holes at each end of the body are electrically coupled to form an inner conductor positioned along a long axis of the filter body. An infrared absorbing material (such as castable epoxy resin) fills the central cavity of the filter body. Methods for producing the co-axial infrared filter include pressing SMA connectors into the respective ends of the filter body, electrically coupling the SMA connectors, and filling the filter body with epoxy. Electronic systems for operating a dark matter detector include a feedline comprising a coaxial filter configured to advantageously block infrared noise.
