“…All Monte Carlo simulations were completed using Monte Carlo N-Particle 5 (MCNP5) [14] or the related software MCNPPoliMi, which is better able to simulate time-analysis quantities [15]. Simulated material compositions, drawn from the literature as appropriate [16,17], appear in Table 1.…”

Our group supports two emission tomography simulation packages: SimSET, which is in the public domain, and ASIM, which we are planning to re-engineer and release as open-source software. Currently the inputs and outputs for the two programs, though conceptually similar, have very different formats. We are creating a common input meta-language for SimSET and ASIM. We plan to make this language general enough that it will be suitable for other emission tomography simulation packages. This language will make it easier for users to use multiple simulation packages and will facilitate definition of similar simulations for various packages.

Highly explosive materials smuggled in sea land cargo containers are a security concern. An algorithm based on neutron and photon measurements during active neutron interrogation with 14.1 MeV neutrons was developed. The detection algorithm has now been evaluated for effectiveness over a wide range of explosive sizes, positions, and cargo configurations. Various sources of uncertainty were also studied. An estimate of the false positive and false negative rates was completed for various measurement conditions. Results showed that, although minimum detectable mass depends on the surrounding cargo, explosive position, and cargo configuration, 200 kg RDX could be reliably detected.
