NUCLEAR RESONANCE ABSORPTION MEASUREMENTS OF NITROGEN AND OXYGEN UNIQUELY TO DETECT EXPLOSIVES AND THE LIKE, AND NOVEL APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AND DETECTING RESONANT GAMMA RAYS THEREFOR

摘要

Generating nuclear resonance-produced gamma rays of 14N, 16O (and C1) for scanning objects such as luggage that may contain explosives of nitrogen-oxygen (-chorine) constituents, and detecting such by Rusonance Absorption Analysis (RAA) techiniques, and with increased yield of gamma ray generation with novel resonance targets, thin layer and gasoous, particularly of the resonance gamma rays of 14N.
