Fast error analysis of continuous GPS observations

It has been generally accepted that the noise in continuous GPS observations can be well described by a power-law plus white noise model. Using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) the numerical values of the noise model can be estimated. Current methods require calculating the data covariance matrix and inverting it, which is a significant...

Photostimulated luminescence from BaCl2:Eu2+ nanocrystals in lithium borate glasses following neutron irradiation

A glass-ceramic thermal neutron imaging plate material is reported. The material consists of a neutron sensitive 2B2O3–Li2O glass matrix containing nanocrystallites of the storage phosphor BaCl2:Eu2+. When doped with 0.5?mol?% Eu2+, the neutron induced photostimulated luminescence (PSL) conversion efficiency of the 10B enriched glass-ceramic is...
