X-ray radar imaging, patented in 2013 by James R. Wood, combines standard radar techniques with the penetration power of x-rays to image scenes. Our project strives to demonstrate the technique using a 2 MeV linear electron accelerator (linac) to generate the S-band-modulated x-ray signals. X-ray detectors such as photodiodes and scintillators are used to detect the signals in backscatter and transmission...
This work will describe the proof-of-concept research applying muon tomography technologies based on drift tube systems to create images using near-horizontal trajectory muons. To date, the majority of imaging studies using cosmic-ray muons have used near-vertical trajectory muons. This work compares imaging results using near-vertical trajectory muons with results using near-horizontal trajectory...
A proof-of-concept investigation of a rapid detection system for shielded high-Z material using a petawatt laser-based muon source is presented. Unlike cosmic-ray muons, a laser-induced muon beam has unique characteristics that can be exploited for use in a rapid detection system. These characteristics include: (1) a near-point source of muons, (2) well-characterized muon energies, (3) directionality...
