Abstract

Results of 5 years task are described on the research and development of the advanced humanitarian landmine detection system by using a compact discharge-type fusion neutron source called IECF(inertial-electrostatic confinement fusion) device and dual sensors made of BGO and Nal. With 107 neutrons/s stably produced in CW mode, 10.8 MeV, gamma rays from (n, gamma) reaction with nitrogen atoms in the explosives (explosive simulant in our study) are measured for two kinds of explosives(TNT, RDX), under the conditions of three different buried depths, and soil moistures. Tentative detection probability for arid soil is found to be in excess of 80%.
