The Application of Analytical Methods to the Detection of Hidden Explosives and Explosive Devices

摘要: The detection of hidden explosives has undergone an enormous development due to increased desire for safety and the terrorist attacks in last few years. This was made possible particular by rapid advances powerful analytical techniques general. These technologies, however, must be specially adapted problems detection. encompass, example, large variety different explosives, camouflage explosive devices, complexity composition suspicious objects. Frequent air-travelers have most certainly already been confronted with a so-called apparatus. Baggage controls at airports are very important well-known example application technologies. also serves demonstrate high technological requirements, such as variability object examined control procedure sealed that completed reliability short period time. search devices or weapons cannot, limited recognition external appearance help X-ray imaging. days, particular, can readily installed objects daily life use tiny electric electronic elements. Therefore, addition imaging, other technologies becomes necessary. following article describes discusses methods scientific limits under precondition security checkpoints.
