Description
The nuclear techniques for inspecting hidden contraband, such as weapons, explosives and drugs are briefly reviewed. The following methods are included: various methods of imaging by using X and γ rays; the prompt γ ray spectroscopy induced by neutrons, β rays, nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), T waves.
