摘要: A chopper wheel assembly includes a collimator configured to narrow an x-ray beam generated by a source of x-ray energy, a chopper wheel has a planar surface configured to face in a direction of the collimator and a housing including a hollow interior region configured to receive the chopper wheel. The chopper wheel includes a central axis, a plurality of slits in the planar surface, a first projection extending from the planar surface in a direction of the collimator and a second projection extending from the planar surface in the direction of the collimator. The slits extend in radially-outward direction relative to the central axis. The first projection is located radially outward of the plurality of slits and the second projection is located radially inward of the plurality of slits.

摘要: A system for classifying materials includes at least one hodoscope with at least one first (2D sensitive) detector unit and at least one second (2D sensitive) detector unit, wherein first detector unit and second detector unit are spaced apart by predetermined first distance to configure a volume of interest (VOI) therebetween to receive therein samples of materials within VOI. The system also includes a processor communicably coupled to at least one hodoscope, wherein processor is configured to reconstruct VOI using plurality of spatial resolution units, track high energy particles passing through VOI by identifying spatial resolution units interacting with high energy particles, create dataset using one or more features associated with each of samples of materials, and train machine learning model using dataset of each of samples of materials for classifying materials. Disclosed also a method for classifying materials.

摘要: A method and apparatus for classifying and/or identifying materials by means of their spectral response to gamma radiation. Classification is carried out by irradiating multiple different samples with gamma radiation, detecting a spectral response in the backscatter direction, sorting the spectral response into energy bands and selecting a combination of energy bands to define a relationship that best distinguishes between clusters of spectral responses for different material classes. Two or more of the energy bands may overlap.

摘要: A sample inspection system contains a source of electromagnetic radiation and an apparatus that includes a beam former, a collimator and an energy resolving detector. The beam former is adapted to receive electromagnetic radiation from the source to provide a polygonal shell beam formed of at least three walls of electromagnetic radiation. The collimator has a plurality of channels adapted to receive diffracted or scattered radiation at an angle. The energy resolving detector is arranged to detect radiation diffracted or scattered by a sample upon incidence of the polygonal shell beam onto the sample and transmitted by the collimator.
