Abstract
An anti-personnel landmine detection system using an inertial-electrostatic confinement fusion (IECF) neutron source and dual sensors showed excellent performance, particularly, for humanitarian landmine detection. Averaged probability of detection (POD) in this test was found to be 100% for arid soil, and 99% for other conditions including very wet soil moisture of 18.5wt%. Further improvements in reliability by making use of neutron backscattering are found to be efficient. © 2009 Springer London.
