BTG is a member of The United States Industry Coalition, Inc. (USIC), a non-profit association of U.S. companies and universities dedicated to the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction through commercialization of technologies for peaceful purposes.

See our project poster at the USIC website.





The Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies. BTG is a partner with BNL in a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to develop a new type of tandem accelerator named the VITA. The VITA accelerator development is funded by DOE through its IPP program and is managed by BNL.



The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) develops strategies to better serve the Soldier, the Army, and the Nation through increased scientific, technical, and analytic excellence and to provide a challenging, rewarding, and stable environment for all members of the ARL Team. The Army relies on the ARL Team, as an integral partner in Army Transformation, to provide the science and technology foundation for the development of full spectrum operational capabilities.



The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is the central research and development organization for the Department of Defense (DoD). It manages and directs selected basic and applied research and development projects for DoD, and pursues research and technology where risk and payoff are both very high and where success may provide dramatic advances for traditional military roles and missions.



Navy's Center of Excellence for Ships and Ship Systems The Carderock Division consists of approximately 3,800 scientists, engineers and support personnel working in more than 40 disciplines ranging from fundamental science to applied/in-service engineering. They are the Navy's experts for maritime technology. Headquartered in West Bethesda, Maryland, the Division houses world-class facilities and laboratories.

June 22, 2006

Brookhaven Technology Group, Inc., was awarded a new Phase I SBIR grant to develop an advanced surface plasma source for reliable long time production of H¯/D¯ beams with high brightness and high pulsed current and average intensity up to ~20mA. The principal goal of this project is to develop a high performance, long lifetime surface plasma H¯ source by using a unique new highly efficient helicon discharge plasma generator. The plasma flux formed by this helicon discharge will be used for surface plasma generation of H¯.

In Phase I, simulations of plasma generation, ion/atom conversion, and H¯/D¯ surface-plasma generation will be carried out to prove the feasibility of this new approach. The discharge system will be studied, beam extraction and formation including electron suppression will be designed, and computer simulated.

This is the third Phase I SBIR awarded to BTG for development of negative ion source technology. In previous years the company received Phase I and Phase II funding to design, build, and test a high brightness, long lived source of heavy negative ions (HNIS). This source is now available for commercialization. More information about the HNIS is available on this website.
