Energy-resolved neutron imaging is an effective way to investigate the internal structure and residual stress of materials. Different sample sizes have varying requirements for the detector's imaging field of view (FOV) and spatial resolution. Therefore, a dual-mode energy-resolved neutron imaging detector was developed, which mainly consisted of a neutron scintillator screen, a mirror, imaging lenses, and a time-stamping optical fast camera. This detector could operate in a large FOV mode or a high spatial resolution mode. To evaluate the performance of the detector, the neutron wavelength spectra and the multiple spatial resolution tests were conducted at CSNS. The results demonstrated that the detector accurately measured the neutron wavelength spectra selected by a bandwidth chopper. The best spatial resolution was about 20 ㎛ in high spatial resolution mode after event reconstruction, and a FOV of 45.0 mm × 45.0 mm was obtained in large FOV mode. The feasibility was validated to change the spatial resolution and FOV by replacing the scintillator screen and adjusting the lens magnification.

Gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS) is regarded as a novel scintillator for the realization of ultra-high spatial resolution in neutron imaging. Monte Carlo simulations of GOS scintillator show that the capability of its spatial resolution is towards the micron level. Through the time-of-flight method, the light output of a GOS scintillator was measured to be 217 photons per captured neutron, ~100 times lower than that of a ZnS/LiF:Ag scintillator. A detector prototype has been developed to evaluate the imaging solution with the GOS scintillator by neutron beam tests. The measured spatial resolution is ~36 ㎛ (28 line pairs/mm) at the modulation transfer function (MTF) of 10%, mainly limited by the low experimental collimation ratio of the beamline. The weak light output of the GOS scintillator requires an enormous increase in the neutron flux to reduce the exposure time for practical applications.

에너지 검파 형태의 스펙트럼 감지는 수신 신호의 에너지를 검파 임계값과 비교하여 1차 사용자(primary user)의 활동 여부를 탐지한다. 그런데 이때 임계값은 달성하고자 하는 오류 경보 확률 및 잡음의 에너지 수준과 밀접한 관련을 갖는다. 따라서 만약 잡음의 에너지 수준이 변한다면 임계값도 조정되어야 한다. 현재까지 발표된 에너지 검파에 대한 연구들은 대부분 잡음의 에너지 수준을 이미 알고 있다는 것을 전제로 한 것이었다. 본 논문에서는 잡음의 백색성을 전제로 하여 임계값을 조절하는 방안을 제안하고, 그에 따른 검파 성능 분석 결과를 제시하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 제안한 방식은 잡음 에너지 수준과는 상관없이 일정한 오류 경보 확률을 달성할 수 있으며, 잡음 에너지를 추정하는데 사용되는 신호의 대역폭과 에너지 측정 기간의 곱이 커질수록 스펙트럼 감지 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

The development of radiation detection systems mainly consist of two parts-radiation detector fabrication including material development, and its appropriate electronics development. For the core-technology incubation of a radiation detection system, radiation fabrication and an evaluation facility are scheduled to be founded at the RFT (Radiation Fusion Technology) Center at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) by 2015. This facility is utilized for the development and incubation of bottleneck-technologies to accelerate the industrialization of a radiation detection system in the industrial, medical, and radiation security fields. This facility is also utilized for researchers to develop next-generation radiation detection instruments. In this paper, the establishment of core-technology development is introduced and its technological mission is addressed.

본 논문에서는 수동 소나의 광대역 에너지 탐지를 위하여 수신신호 강도 변화에 따른 가중치를 인가하는 기법을 제안한다. 광대역 에너지 탐지에 널리 사용되는 부대역 에너지 탐지 (Subband Energy Detection) 기법은 CED(Conventional Energy Detection) 기법에 비하여 다중신호 및 클러터 간섭에 강인하나, 수신신호에서 검출된 극값의 강도 변화에 따라 효율적인 가중치를 인가할 수 없어 탐지 성능을 저하 시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 검출된 극값의 강도 변화에 따라 효율적으로 가중치를 인가하는 기법을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션 및 황해 실 음향 데이터를 이용한 성능 비교, 칼만 필터를 이용한 추적시험 수행을 통하여 제안 기법의 탐지성능이 기존 기법에 비해 우수함을 관찰하였다.

The objective of this study is to improve the accuracy of damage detection using natural frequency and modal strain energy. The following approaches are used to achieve the goal. First, modal strain energy is introduced and newly GA-based damage detection technique using natural frequency and modal strain energy is proposed. Next, to verify efficiency of the proposed technique, damage scenarios for free-free beams are designed and the vibration modal tests as damage cases are conducted. Finally, feasibility of proposed technique is verified in comparison with a GA-based damage detection technique using natural frequency and mode shape.

스펙트럼 감지를 하기 위해 에너지 검파기는 수신 신호의 에너지를 미리 정해둔 임계값과 비교하여 1차 사용자가 면허 대역 내에서 활동을 하는 지 여부를 판단한다. 여기에서 임계값은 해당 주파수 대역에 존재하는 잡음의 전력 수준과 관련이 있다. 에너지 검파에 대한 과거의 연구 대부분은 잡음 전력을 미리 정확하게 알고 있다는 가정에 기초한 것이었다. 그러나 실제 환경에서는 잡음 전력에 대한 불확실성이 존재하기 때문에 이 가정은 현실적으로 유효하지 않다. 그러므로 잡음 전력의 불확실성이 에너지 검파기의 스펙트럼 감지 성능에 미치는 영향을 파악할 필요가 있다. 이에 이 논문에서는 유수 정리(residue theorem)에 기반을 둔 적분을 활용하여 그 영향을 수학적으로 분석하고 그 결과를 제시하고자 한다.

Commercially used organic scintillation materials (1,4 di[2-(5phenyloxazolyl)] benzene) have low solubility in solvents and a wide emission energy range, which causes a decrease in detection efficiency. In this study, an organic liquid scintillator with improved detection efficiency was developed using 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin material to compensate for the disadvantages of existing organic scintillation detectors. And to evaluate the applicability of radiation measurement, the performance of a commercial plastic detector was compared. As a result of analyzing the ⁶⁰Co detection characteristics by applying 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin as an alternative to 1,4 di[2-(5phenyloxazolyl)] benzene, the detection efficiency was improved around 2% compared with commercial scintillator when the 7-Diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin content was 0.04 wt%. Based on the results of this study, the possibility of improving detection efficiency through scintillator material modification was confirmed. In addition, since it is possible to discriminate nuclide through the spectrum correction algorithm, it will be possible to inspect and classify various decommissioning wastes generated during the decommissioning process.

Spectrum sensing, as a fundamental functionality of Cognitive Radio (CR), enables Secondary Users (SUs) to monitor the spectrum and detect spectrum holes that could be used. Recently, the security issues of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have attracted increasing research attention. As one of the attacks against CRNs, a Primary User Emulation (PUE) attack compromises the spectrum sensing of CR, where an attacker monopolizes the spectrum holes by impersonating the Primary User (PU) to prevent SUs from accessing the idle frequency bands. Energy detection is often used to sense the spectrum in CRNs, but the presence of PUE attack has not been considered. This study examined the effect of PUE attack on the performance of energy detection-based spectrum sensing technique. In the proposed protocol, the stationary helper nodes (HNs) are deployed in multiple stages and distributed over the coverage area of the PUs to deliver spectrum status information to the next stage of HNs and to SUs. On the other hand, the first stage of HNs is also responsible for inferring the existence of the PU based on the energy detection technique. In addition, this system provides the detection threshold under the constraints imposed on the probabilities of a miss detection and false alarm.
