We describe a method for performing nuclear resonance absorption with the proton beam from a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linear accelerator. The objective was to assess the suitability of the pulsed beam from an RFQ to image nitrogen relative to that of electrostatic accelerators. This choice of accelerator results in tradeoffs in performance and complexity, in return for the prospect of higher average current. In spite of a reduced resonance attenuation coefficient in nitrogen, we successfully produced 3D tomographic images of real explosives in luggage the first time the unoptimized system was operated. The results and assessments of our initial laboratory measurements are reported.© (1994) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
