Abstract

There is a need for enhanced ability in the nuclear detectors operated from a broader spectrum of long-stand-off-range aerospace platforms. A technique to transform the high-energy gamma photons into relatively low RF signal has been investigated and reported here. The foundation for the detection is the process of terrestrial, littoral and tropospheric radiolysis of the ubiquitous water molecule, that has been established theoretically in our work as a source modeling exercise. Radio images created using this method shall be of tremendous import in the detection, classification and quantification of nuclear energetic events occurring over varying spatial and temporal scales.
