The Crane Department is offering a research grant to investigate time-varying nuclear decay parameters, aiming to understand mechanisms behind time-dependent nuclear decay. This research is vital for noise reduction in microelectronics in radiation environments and may lead to innovative detection technologies with potential benefits for Department of Defense (DoD) applications. Applications are due by October 6, 2017.

| Description: | Though the mechanisms for the observed time dependence in nuclear decay parameters are not well understood, the importance of this work is twofold: 1.) the ability to account for noise sources associated with microelectronics in radiation environments, 2.) the exploration of new physical mechanisms that could lead to new detection technologies with significant impacts to DoD applications. Crane is interested in funding research to explore the existence of physical mechanisms of nuclear decay modulation. |
