Objective Summary
DTRA seeks to establish reliable, scalable, and secure domestic sources and fabrication processes for high-purity precursor materials or pre-reacted mixes required for the growth of advanced inorganic scintillator crystals, such as LaBr₃:Ce, GGAG:Ce (GGAG), Cs₂LiYCl₆:Ce (CLYC), Cs₂LiLaBr₆:Ce (CLLB), and other materials. These materials are essential for high-resolution gamma spectroscopy and dual gamma/neutron pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) detectors used in Radiation Isotope Identification Devices (RIIDs), handheld identifiers, and other Department of War (DoW) radiation detection systems.
The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
