Counterterrorist Detection Techniques of Explosives

The detection of hidden explosives has become an issue of utmost importance in recent years. While terrorism is not new to the international community, recent terrorism has been created for the purpose of detecting hidden explosives. Counterterrorist Detection Techniques of Explosives in the field of research and development in the field of neutron techniques, nuclear quadrupole resonance, chemiluminescence, mass spectrometry, ion mobility spectrometers, electrochemical methods and micromechanical sensors , x-ray diffraction imaging, millimeter-wave imaging, terahertz imaging and laser techniques). This book will be of interest to any of the sensors and detectors.

* Covers latest advances in vapor and trace detection techniques and bulk detection techniques
* Reviews both current techniques and those in advanced stages of development
* Techniques that are described in detail, including its principles of operation
