Abstract

The results of using a stationary setup for detecting and identifying explosives using the tagged neutron method (or associated particle imaging (API) method) have been presented. The source of 14.1-MeV tagged neutron beams is an ING-27 portable neutron generator made by VNIIA (Moscow). It contains an embedded 64-pixel silicon α detector with double-sided strip readout developed by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). The setup was tested for the identification of more than 30 explosives.
