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.
* Covers latest advances in vapor and trace detection techniques and
bulk detection techniques
* Reviews both current techniques and those in advanced stages of
development
* Techniques that are described in detail, including its principles of
operation, as well as its applications in the detection of explosives
