Description

Element analysis based on so-called dual energy method is widely used throughout the world in X-ray customs inspection systems for luggage control in airports.Theoretical consideration and experimental results have shown that represented algorithm allows to carry out discrimination of materials according to their atomic number and irrespective to their thickness at dual energies of accelerator from 1/10 MeV range
