Future pRad upgrades at Los Alamos National Laboratory

The LANL Proton radiography facility offers an imaging technique that gives spatial (50-200 um) and temporal resolution of 50 ns with a maximum frame rate of 10 MHz, where it is used for applications in nuclear stockpile stewardship and studies of materials under high pressure. It utilizes protons that have multiple Coulomb scattered (MCS) through an object to create contrast in the transmission image. The resolution of pRad can be improved with increased proton energy. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of MCS-based proton radiography at the LANL facility and discuss the criteria and possible upgrades to the facility to improve the current resolution limit.
