| + | * Kara Keeter meant to join, but has laryngitis: interested in ultra-pure water and/or liquid scintillator shields, I'm not sure if radon and other impurity monitoring and assay was included in that or if someone else is doing that. Also ultra-pure noble gas and liquids such as argon; I hope to build a trace-gas analyzer based on cavity ring-down spectroscopy technology, for measuring levels of impurities such as N2, O2, and H2O. Our plans are innovative (especially for the N2) and promise to achieve at least a factor of 10 improvement in sensitivity. | ||
| + | Also, I don't know if this fits in anywhere but I am collaborating with Philippe Collon at Notre Dame on some AMS measurements of potassium levels in rope fibers and acrylic samples for SNO+. (As a matter of fact we are both at ISU today to discuss things.) I would like to build a setup in a clean room for preparing samples for AMS testing. Recent literature suggests AMS may be more sensitive than ICPMS for 40K. So far we only have relative measurements, | ||

| + | We also discussed a post-doc for me, and also handling the training of operators for the facility. I don't think I've mentioned it to you but we are tentatively discussing BHSU providing some sort of support for radiation licensing, which I assume would also entail some sort of training for users. | ||
