Application of Nuclear Physics Methods for Identification of Complex Chemical Substances

Leader:

V. Bystritsky
M. Sapozhnikov

Scientific Programme:

The main goal is to develop methods for identification of complex chemical substances by registration of the gamma-quanta spectra induced by fast neutrons irradiation. The neutrons are produced in the reaction d+t +n. The -quanta are registered in coincidence with particles. For each event the coordinates and the arrival time of particles in the alpha-detector are measured as well as amplitudes and arrival time of in the gamma-detectors. This information allows to find 3D position of the object inside the interrogated volume. Investigation of different detectors for and registration will be performed. The data acquisition and data analysis systems will be manufactured. Simulation of the neutrons and gamma-quanta interactions in the interrogated volume will be done to optimize the detector. A prototype of the detector for identification of hidden substances will be constructed.
