| Popis: | 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 |
