It has been proven that landmine detection systems based on prompt

gamma neutron activation analysis method can be used effectively in

detecting low metal content mines. Unfortunately, neutron and

gamma radiations...

landmine-detection systems have been studied widely, but the protection against radiation in these studies has rarely been studied. Systems dosimetry due to the neutron source is important. In this paper, the dose rate received by an operator of a...

In this paper an optimized moderating structure using an 241Am-Be neutron source

for detecting landmines (using the PGNAA method) has been investigated by experiment. The

experimental set up composed of a Pb ...

In our previous work [1], the detector collimator of the landmine detection device has designed and optimized using gamma-rays back scattering of 241Am isotopic source with 0.06 MeV in energy and NaI(Tl) detector. In this study the effect...

The optimum moderating geometry using an 241Am–Be neutron source for detecting landmines has been investigated. The experimental setup composed of a Pb cylindrical shell enclosing the neutron source, embedded in a fixed-size ...

Background: Several landmine detection

methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been

suggested up to now. Neutron-induced gamma

emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast

neutron backscattering are the nuclear...

analysis (PGNAA) method considerably. In this work an 241Am-Be source was used in the moderator geometry for detecting buried landmines by PGNAA method. Experiments were done to find the best moderator geometry for the ...
