ORNL has built a mobile muon detector projected to improve spent nuclear fuel monitoring and tackle a critical challenge for quantum computing. This year, the muon detector will be moved to a new building on the ORNL campus for practical measurements. Diawara also published Neutron Detectors for Scattering Applications, a reference for specialists and young students on the most popular neutron detectors used in neutron scattering facilities. The design for the muon detector originated from a neutron detector built specifically for the Spallation Neutron Source more than ten years ago.
