We investigate the use of pulsed bremsstrahlung as a standoff active interrogation tool for the production of neutron and gamma signatures in fissionable materials.1 Photons are generated by an electron beam striking a Ta converter on the 16 MV Hermes III facility at Sandia National Laboratories, and propagate to a target location 19 m from the electron beam diode, at which various materials are placed...
The detection of fissile material by passive and active techniques is an area of intense interest. Many active approaches detect the products of fission induced by photon and/or neutron irradiation.1 One such approach has focused on using intense, pulsed, beam-target interactions to produce an irradiation source of 6.13-, 6.92-, and 7.13-MeV characteristic gamma rays from the 19F(p, αγ)16O reaction...
