摘要： The present invention is a detection system and method for using the detection system in radiant energy imaging systems. In particular, the present invention is an improved detection system employing multiple screens for greater detection efficiency. And more particularly, the present invention is a detection system for detecting electromagnetic radiation having an enclosure having four adjacent walls, connected to each other at an angle and forming a rectangle and interior portion of the enclosure, a front side area and a back side area formed from the four adjacent walls and located at each end of the enclosure, at least two screens, that further include an active area for receiving and converting electromagnetic radiation into light, and a photodetector, positioned in the interior portion of the enclosure, having an active area responsive to the light.

摘要： A system and method for detecting contraband generates a highly collimated beam of pulsed fast neutrons, having a pulse width on the order of a nanosecond, and an energy of 5 to 9 MeV. An object under investigation is scanned with the collimated pulsed beam. The neutrons in the beam cause (n, .gamma.) reactions in a limited object volume or voxel, defined by the intersection of the collimated beam and the scanned object. The highly penetrating fast neutrons produce nuclear reactions with the atomic elements present within the object, causing gamma rays to be emitted. By measuring the approximate time of flight of the neutron pulse, a determination is made as to the particular voxel from which the gamma ray originated. The energy of the detected gamma rays identifies the particular elements from which the gamma rays originated. Thus, e.g., the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine content, which elements are commonly found in contraband, of a particular voxel can be determined directly and precisely. This voxel content information may be combined from a substantial sample of the voxels that make up the object to provide a direct indication of the elemental content of the object, and hence whether contraband is present or absent within the object.

摘要： The present specification discloses an inspection system for detecting objects being carried by a person who is moving along a pathway. The inspection system has two detection systems configured to detect radiation scattered from the person as the person moves along the pathway and an X-ray source positioned between the detection systems. The X-ray source is configured to generate a vertical beam spot pattern and does not generate beams that move horizontally.

摘要： The present specification discloses an improved detection system employing multiple screens for greater detection efficiency. More particularly, a first enclosure has two adjacent walls, each with interior surfaces, a first end and a second end. The first ends of the two adjacent walls are connected at an angle to form an interior and the second ends of the two adjacent walls are connected to a semi-circular housing. At least one substrate, positioned on each of the interior surfaces of the adjacent walls, has an active area for receiving and converting electromagnetic radiation into light. A photodetector, positioned in the interior portion of the semi-circular housing, has an active area responsive to the light.
