In this work, experiments were carried out to investigate the possible use of neutron backscattering for the detection of sample buried in the soil. A series of Monte Carlo simulations were performed to study the complexity ...

Background: Several landmine detection

methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been

suggested during the recent years. Neutron energy

moderation, neutron-induced gamma emission,

neutron and ...

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 ...
