Description

3D elemental mapping by prompt-gamma ghost imaging. This project aims to develop new neutron-imaging capabilities at the Open-Pool Australian Lightwater reactor. Existing elemental identification methods based on analysis of gamma emission after neutron irradiation provide total elemental concentrations, however, they do not give any spatial distribution information. The team intends to achieve 3D elemental mapping capabilities by applying their world-first techniques for ghost imaging and ghost projection, that employs shaped neutron beams, to achieve prompt-gamma emission ghost imaging. This elemental imaging technology has immediate applications in fields ranging from critical-mineral mining to materials science helping Australia transition to a net-zero future.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4603 - Computer Vision and Multimedia Computation. Lead: A/Prof Andrew Kingston
