Description

A portable back-scattering detector using 133Ba as the radiation source is described. The detector can find out whether there is contraband in a hidden space. Some information about the type of the contraband can be given according to the back-scattering spectra. The prototype design of the detector is described, MCNP simulation and physics analysis based on a simplified model is done, and some experiment results are also given. (authors)
