Abstract
The calibration of the energy scale of a device which is a spectrometer and is to be used for detecting explosives in various objects (baggage of airline passengers, mail, briefcases, cases, and others) is examined. The work is based on the method of neutron-radiation analysis. In the present case the calibration is of fundmental importance because the nitrogen sensitivity of the device is low. A brief description of a working model, the basic characteristics, the background spectrum of capture radiation with a sample of nitrogen-containing substance, and an example of a calibration curve are presented. The method of check sums and its advantages are examined. It is shown that it can be used in setups for detecting explosives.
