Description
The detection of hidden explosives has become an issue of utmost importance in recent years. While terrorism is not new to the international
community, recent terrorist attacks have raised the issue of detection of explosives and have generated a great demand for rapid, sensitive
and reliable methods for detecting hidden explosives. Counterterrorist Detection Techniques of Explosives covers recent advances in this
area of research including vapor and trace detection techniques (chemiluminescence, mass spectrometry, ion mobility spectrometry, electrochemical
methods and micromechanical sensors, such as microcantilevers) and bulk detection techniques (neutron techniques, nuclear quadrupole
resonance, x-ray diffraction imaging, millimeter-wave imaging, terahertz imaging and laser techniques). This book will be of interest
to any scientists involved in the design and application of security screening technologies including new sensors and detecting devices
which will prevent the smuggling of bombs and explosives.
