RMD Inc., was selected as a winner for the 2019 R&D 100 Awards as announced by R&D World magazine. Widely recognized in industry, government, and academia as a mark of excellence for the most innovative ideas of the year, the R&D 100 Awards are the only industry-wide competition rewarding practical applications of science.

RMD introduces CLLBC (Cs2LiLa(Br,Cl)6:Ce) scintillator technology, a practical gamma-neutron detector for use as a replacement for both high energy resolution gamma-ray detectors and high pressure Helium-3 tubes for neutron detection.

In response to the Helium 3 shortage, RMD developed CLYC (Cs₂LiYCl₆:Ce) scintillation crystals consisting of Cesium, Lithium, Yttrium, and Chlorine, doped with Cerium and with the Lithium enriched in 6 Li. When utilized in a radiation detector, CLYC gives first responders the ability to identify the presence and type of nuclear radiation.

RMD developed an ultra-high-speed, high-resolution, X-ray imaging system capable of acquiring images at a rate of 120,000 frames per second (FPS) for the Department of Defense. The system was based on a fast-decay scintillator screen coupled to an ultra-fast CCD camera designed for ballistic impact studies. A specially designed X-ray source provided blur-free images of hypervelocity projectiles traveling over 18,000 miles per hour.

RMD’s 100,000 FPS X-ray Imaging

RMD introduces LPA-1, a portable X Ray fluorescence system for lead paint analysis, one of the most successful lead testing instruments ever developed.

RMD develops large area Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) which greatly improve the signal to noise ratio for use in hybrid PET/MRI systems and in LIDAR applications. RMD’s compact and rugged APDs feature high quantum detection efficiency and wide spectral response.

RMD was founded by Dr. Gerald Entine to manufacture CdTe radiation detectors for use in nuclear power plants, medicine, and research. Since 1974 RMD’s mission has been to conduct world-class research and develop industry-leading commercial products. Today, that mission is undertaken by more than 60 scientists and engineers who are more often shaping materials research and development rather than following it. Today, RMD is recognized worldwide as a foremost expert in the fields of radiation detection and imaging, nuclear instrumentation, and non-destructive testing (NDT) and instrumentation.
