Detection of chemical explosives using multiple photon signatures. Applied radiation and isotopes : including data, instrumentation and methods for use in agriculture, industry and medicine [Appl Radiat Isot] Journal article | | Title | Detection of chemical explosives using multiple photon signatures. | | Author(s) | Loschke KW, Dunn WL | | Institution | Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, Kansas State University, 3002 Rathbone Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA. | | Source | Appl Radiat Isot 2009 Oct 22. | | Abstract | A template-matching procedure is being investigated for rapid detection of improvised explosive devices at standoff distances. Photon-scattered and photon-induced positron annihilation radiation responses are being studied as a part of a signature-based radiation scanning approach. Back-streaming radiation responses, called signatures, are compared to templates, which are collections of the same signatures if the interrogated volume contained a significant amount of explosive. Experiments have been conducted that show that explosive surrogates (fertilizers) can be distinguished from several inert materials. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
