Detection of liquid explosives and flammable agents in connection with terrorism: Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Detection of Liquid Explosives and Flammable Agents in Connection with Terrorism, St. Petersburg, Russia, 17-19 October 2007

The book contains lectures of an international NATO-Russian Advanced Workshopabout the detection of liquid explosives and flammable agents. The ARW was one of a series of workshops before, dealing with the detection of explosives and initiated by terrorist actions using liquid explosives. The aim of the workshop was to present and to discuss suitable methods about the feasibility and realization of the detection of liquid explosive charges and flammable agents. The proceedings of this workshop are the only possibility to gain information outside the area of secrecy about the state of the art in this special field of application Activities in this area by Russian researchers are of special interest and will be a starting point for NATO Russian Research Cooperation INDICE: From the contents Preface.- Acknowledgement.- The Terrorist Palletof Liquid Explosives and Flammable Fuels.- Overview of Liquid Explosives Detection.- Chemistry and Properties of Liquid Explosives.- What’s Special about Liquid Explosives?- Search of Explosives in Vehicles by Using Tagged Neutrons.-Optimization of Hardware are for Tagged Neutron Technology.- Detection of Liquid and Homemade Explosives: What Do We Need to Know about their Properties?- Detector of Hazardous Substances Based on Nanosecond Neutron Analysis.- Some Detection Procedures for Liquid Explosives.- Detection of Explosives Using Nuclear Resonance Absorption of Gamma Rays in Nitrogen: A Russian/US Collaboration.- A Device for Detecting Concealed Explosives- Trace and Bulk Detection of Explosives by Ion Mobility Spectrometry and Neutron Analysis.- Possibilities of Liquid Explosives Countermeasures at Airports.- Close-Range and Standoff Detection and Identification of Liquid Explosives by Means of Raman Spectroscopy.
