Anti-personnel mine detection by neutron backscattering technique using MCNP simulation

الملخص EN

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.
