Development of landmine detection system based on the measurement of radiation from landmines.

For the detection of landmines, a new gamma-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 gamma-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.
