Abstract
The neutron backscattering technique NBS has been applied for landmine detection if the soil is sufficiently dry. The detection of anti-personnel (AP) landmine by neutron backscattering technique has been studied by using Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP4B) code. The effect of the burial depth and side position of anti-personnel landmine has been discussed. A two dimensional position sensitive detector is simulated by MCNP4B to obtain an image of the back scattered slow neutrons radiation. Results of simulation using mono-energetic point neutron source (2.45 MeV) are presented. The on-mine to no-mine signal ratio images are presented for different positions and depths.
