Detection of Bulk Explosives Advanced Techniques against Terrorism: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Detection of Bulk Explosives [Hardcover]

Detection of Bulk Explosives: Advanced Techniques against Terrorism contains reviews of: existing and emerging bulk explosives detection techniques; scientific and technical policy of the Federal Border Service of the Russian Federation; challenges in application and evaluation of EDS systems for aviation security; multi-sensor approach to explosives detection. There are also reports devoted to the following individual explosive detection techniques: X-ray systems in airports; neutron in, gamma out techniques; neutron and gamma backscattering; nuclear quadruple resonance, including remote NQR; sub-surface radars; microwave scanners; laser-induced burst spectroscopy (LIBS); acoustic sensors; nonlinear location (NUD); systems for localization and destruction of explosive objects.Detectionof Explosives.- Overview of Bulk Explosives Detection Techniques.- Outcomeof the NATO ARW Vapor and Trace Detectionof Explosives for Antiterrorism Purposes in Moscow.- Classification of Technologies for Bulk Detection of Explosives.- Multi Level Conceptfor the Detection of Explosives.- Method of HiddenExplosives Detection Using Reflected Low Power Gamma Irradiation.- Bulk Explosive Detection by Neutron Interrogation: Results from the Explodet Collaboration.- The Main Tasks of the Scientific and Technical Policy of the Federal Border Service of the Russian Federation in its Struggle Against Terrorism.- Detection and Identification of Bulk Explosives Using Portable Neutron Generators.- Detection of Hidden Explosives by Nanosecond Neutron Analysis Technique.- Technology of Elemental Analysis with Usage of Generators of Neutron s for Detection of Explosive Devices Established in a Soil, Luggage and Other Subjects.- The Detection of Explosives in Airport Luggage Using the Direct Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance Method.- Detection ofAmmonium Nitrate Inside Vehicles by Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance.- Challenges in Application and Evaluation of EDS Systems for AviatilcS
