    摘要: A laser-based mono-energetic gamma-ray source is used to provide a rapid and unique, isotope specific method for sorting materials. The objects to be sorted are passed on a conveyor in front of a MEGa-ray beam which has been tuned to the nuclear resonance fluorescence transition of the desired material. As the material containing the desired isotope traverses the beam, a reduction in the transmitted MEGa-ray beam occurs. Alternately, the laser-based mono-energetic gamma-ray source is used to provide non-destructive and non-intrusive, quantitative determination of the absolute amount of a specific isotope contained within pipe as part of a moving fluid or quasi-fluid material stream.

    摘要: A method is proposed herein to detect high atomic number materials, such as Special Nuclear Materials, within a container based on muon tomography. The container is modeled as a plurality of volume elements. Information related to an initial trajectory and a final trajectory of each muon passing through the container is received. Additionally, a set of initial outer prong vectors and a set of final outer prong vectors are created. Then, a plurality of vector combinations are created from a selected initial vector and a selected final vector. A metric is determined and associated with each vector combination. A subset of the plurality of vector combinations is associated with each volume element and an estimated scattering density is determined and assigned to the volume element. Based on the estimated scattering density assigned to the volume elements, a three dimensional image of the container may be generated.

    摘要: A method is described for the combined processing of spectral data from a plurality of radiation detectors (4,6), in particular with a plurality of response functions, comprising: obtaining a response matrix for each detector (4,6); collecting data from radiation incident at each detector (4,6); producing a spectral histogram for the collected data from each detector (4,6); deconvoluting the histograms from each detector by applying a suitable numerical deconvolution such as a Bayesian deconvolution that makes use of the response matrix for each detector to derive a single spectral histogram that representatively combines information from the plurality of detectors. An apparatus, such as a hybrid detector apparatus, to which the method can be applied is also described.

    摘要: Method and system for distinguishing a special nuclear material from a non-threat, high-density metal using X-ray Diffraction. In one embodiment, an X-ray image of an object is examined to detect those voxels having intense XRD profiles, indicating the presence of a high-Z metal. Second, the XRD profiles of such voxels are examined to find the widths and positions of any bands of momentum that are empty of Bragg diffraction peaks. If no such bands are found, then each XRD profile is uniformly populated with Bragg peaks; and it is determined that a special nuclear material is present. If such bands are found, then at least one XRD profile is not uniformly populated with Bragg peaks; and it is determined that a non-threat, high-Z metal is present.
