Low-Energy Beta Particle Detection

IARPA is interested in assessing potential new technological solutions in the area of fieldable low-energy beta particle detection. Responses to this RFI are asked to address questions targeting a specific approach or concept, sorted into three categories: (a) detection technology, (b) physical properties, and (c) data management and analysis. In response to submissions to this RFI, IARPA may choose to organize a virtual, invitation-only workshop for the purpose of reviewing and discussing relevant current and future research. Should a workshop occur, participants will be asked to make formal presentations based on their RFI submissions. Written submissions and information discussed at a workshop may assist in the formulation of future U.S. Government research. Responses to this RFI are due no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, 28 May, 2021. All submissions must be electronically submitted to [email protected] as a PDF document. Inquiries to this RFI must be submitted to [email protected]. Do not send questions with proprietary content. No telephone inquiries will be accepted.
