Description

A novel method for two-dimensional (2D) imaging of a specific isotope in a material, which is hidden by a thick radiation shield is presented. Nuclear resonance fluorescence and the laser Compton scattering are used in the present method. We measured γ-rays of 5512 keV from the nuclear resonance fluorescence of 208Pb at several points, and obtained a 2D image of isotope distribution. (author)
