Company Profile

Except for two Navy SBIR PhaseI awards in 1994 and 1999, and one Phase I from OSD in 2006, with management of Omega-P, Inc. decscribing the firm as "performing basic research in the field of Accelerator Physics", the firm is entirely DOE funded from 1992 to present with almost 80 Phase I projects - 39 taken into Phase II - for a total of $38+M. A primary focus of the firm is development of a rapidly-adjustable, cathode to improve proton beam quality used with an electron lens - having applications for vacuum tubes employed for telecommunications and radar, in both civilian and military systems. The effort is to develop high-power microwave switches to allow tests of structures to sustain higher electric fields without breakdown, thus enabling operation at higher energy, and also opening up commercial applications with improved clinical accelerators. Intense proton beams can be used for disposal of waste from nuclear reactor spent fuel rods, and other applications
