Abstract

A method of detecting explosives in a vehicle (16) includes providing a first rack on one side of the vehicle, the rack (12) including neutron generator and a plurality of gamma ray detectors; providing a second rack (14) on another side of the vehicle, the second ra including a neutron generator and a plurality of gamma ray detectors; providing a control system, remote from the first and second racks, coupled to the neutron generators and gamma ray detectors; using the control system, causing the neutron generators to gene neutrons; and performing gamma ray spectroscopy on spectra read by the gamma ray detectors to look for a signature indicative of presence of an explosive. Various apparatus and other methods are also provided.
