Abstract

Backscatter Detectors Hydrogen Land mine detection Landmine detection Monitoring neutron generator neutron scattering Neutrons NIST Radar scattering Soil moisture Testing
The neutron back scattering technique is used to search for land mines. Advantages of this technique are: the speed of detection, the ability to detect metal free mines, and the insensitivity to metal and pebbles. The method is sensitive to soil moisture, therefore a desert environment is perfectly suited for application of the neutron backscattering technique. Tests were performed using various dummy mines and real defused mines in the Egyptian desert
