Abstract

LA INVENCION SE REFIERE A UN APARATO Y UN METODO PARA DETECTAR LA PRESENCIA DE UN ELEMENTO DE INTERES DENTRO DE UN OBJETO (12). EL OBJETO (12) ESTA COLOCADO EN EL LUGAR DONDE SE DIRIGE UN HAZ DE RAYOS GAMMA (15) DE LA ENERGIA REQUERIDA PARA SER DISEMINADO POR EL ELEMENTO DE INTERES (16). LOS RAYOS GAMMA (15) ESTAN PROVISTOS DE ATOMOS EXCITADOS DEL ELEMENTO (16) DE INTERES. LOS ATOMOS EXCITADOS RESULTAN DE LA REACCION DEL HIDROGENO O IONES MAS PESADOS Y UN BLANCO ADECUADO (14). LOS ATOMOS EXCITADOS SE CALMAN, LIBERANDO LOS RAYOS GAMMA (15) QUE SE DISEMINAN POR EL ELEMENTO (16) DE INTERES DENTRO DEL OBJETO. LOS RAYOS GAMMA DISEMINADOS SE DETECTAN Y SE PRODUCEN, PROCESAN Y ANALIZAN SEÑALES DE SALIDA PARA DETERMINAR LA CANTIDAD DE ELEMENTOS DE INTERES DENTRO DEL OBJETO. SU UTILIZACION PREFERENTE ESTA RELACIONADA CON LA DETECCION DE EXPLOSIVOS CON BASE DE NITROGENO EN EL EQUIPAJE.
