Systematic study of radioluminescence and light propagation effects in scintillating nanoguide materials

Sweany, Melinda D.; Witzke, Ryan J.; Feng, Patrick L.; Brubaker, Erik M.

Nanoguide optical waveguides are thermally processed materials based on polymers that have different refractive indices. Scintillating versions of these materials have been under development since 2019 and feature PMMA as the low refractive index constituent and Organic Glass Scintillator-polymer blends as the high index component. Characterization efforts to date have focused on the functional characteristics of nanoguide pertaining to its envisioned use in high-resolution transmission radiogra
