Devoted to describing neutron movement in media and the corresponding laws, neutron transport theory is the research basis for transmutation and activation, radiation damage to materials, radiation dose, and biological safety, among other topics. There are two methods for neutron transport calculation: the Monte Carlo method (also called the probabilistic method or the stochastic method) and th...

Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested during the recent years. Neutron energy moderation, neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are nuclear-based methods used for landmine detection. The aim of this study is to use backscattered neutron for landmine detection. Materials ...
