The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our results show that supercollimating photonic crystal scintillators can enhance spatial resolution by up to an order of magnitude relative to conventional bulk scintillators of equal thickness.

C2weakest assumption

The multiscale modeling framework integrating nanophotonic band-structure simulations with Monte Carlo particle transport provides a quantitatively accurate prediction of performance in physically realizable three-dimensional photonic crystal scintillators.

C3one line summary

Three-dimensional photonic crystal scintillators achieve supercollimation to enhance spatial resolution by up to an order of magnitude compared to conventional bulk scintillators and enable comparable image quality at roughly ten times lower X-ray dose.
