ABSTRACT:
A system and method for the inspection and/or search for concealed objects impinges a monoenergetic neutron beam upon an object, notes the energy distribution of the neutrons scattered from the object and correlates the energy/intensity distribution of the scattered neutrons with the presence or absence of particular elements. The invention may be utilized to obtain qualitative or quantitative data regarding the composition of the object under interrogation.
