Abstract
Traditional Xray scatheless detecting method is used widely, but it is not useful to discriminate explosive consisting of low Z atomic elements. The penetrability of neutron is much better, and it can interact on atomic nucleus to emit characteristic γ ray. So neutron scatheless detecting methods can the used to detect the low Z atomic elements. In this paper, several neutron scatheless detecting methods are introduced briefly, and the principium experiment using Pulse Fast Thermal Neutron Analysis(PETNA) to detect a kind of explosive simulacrum is carried out. The experiment results show that PFTNA based on the sealed neutron generator is feasible to detect explosive.
