Neutron Generators

How Neutron Interrogation Works

  • The neutron interactions produce signature elemental  gamma rays of discrete energies that are element specific.  
  • Analysis of the elemental content can be combined with stoichiometric information to identify molecular compounds including high explosives and chemical weapons.

 

Applications

  • Airports
  • Checked and carry-on baggage
  • Military bases
  • Minerals exploration
  • Nuclear power plants
  • Oil well logging
  • Personnel
  • Secure area screening
  • Suspicious packages

Active Neutron Interrogation Solutions

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers neutron generators for a wide variety of homeland security applications for fixed installation or portable, high yield or moderate yield, pulsing or continuous mode operation, and associated particle imaging. Using pulsed neutron generators will improve accuracy and lower inspection times by exploiting up to three time domains of signals.

Measurement Technique

ANI is a measurement technique that uses neutrons to non-invasively examine an object of interest, such as a suitcase or cargo container, with neutrons, which travel throughout the object and interact with the full volume of its contents. 

About Neutron Generators

Neutron generators are widely accepted for many industrial applications.  Compared to other sources of neutrons, neutron generators offer advantages in ease of transport, operating flexibility, design for portability and integration into homeland security sensors. more ...
