ABSTRACT:
It comprises e.g. a 14 MeV neutron generator for supplying these neutrons to an object liable to contain an explosive, a germanium detector and analysis means coupled to the detector and able to analyse the fast .gamma. photons emitted by the object and trapped by the detector and determine the nitrogen/oxygen ratio in the object, so that this ratio can be compared with that of the explosive and establish whether the object contains said explosive.
