For the detection of landmines, a new γ-ray detector system, a neutron source, and control
and measurement devices were developed. A prototype system has newly been developed
by combining these devices. The usefulness of capture γ-ray and backscattering neutron
methods is examined with real explosives in several conditions and the performance of the
prototype landmine detection system is demonstrated experimentally in this study. The
combination of the methods is confirmed to be sufficiently effective for application to actual …
