Abstract:Explosive detection systems (EDS) based on thermal neutron activation can be used for detection and identification of concealed explosives such as trinitrotoluene, cyclonite, and ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ). Activation results in emission of characteristic gamma rays of constituents whose relative intensities yield atomic fractions of the explosives and instant identification. Applications of EDS can also be at airports and seaports as well as in vehicles. Such systems have been studied, developed and tested… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
