Utilization of actively-induced, prompt radiation emission for nonproliferation applications
B.W. Blackburn,J.L. Jones,C. E. Moss,John T. Mihalczo,Alan W. Hunt,Frank Harmon,Scott M. Watson,James T. Johnson +7 more
TL;DR: The pulsed photonuclear assessment (PPA) technique as discussed by the authors is based on utilizing delayed neutrons and photons between accelerator pulses, which has demonstrated the ability to detect shielded nuclear material.

Laser-Compton Scattering from a 20-MeV Electron Beam
TL;DR: In this paper, a 20 MeV electron beam was brought to a head-on collision with a 100 MW 7 ns Nd:YAG laser and the results recorded showed good agreement with the predicted values.

TL;DR: The Idaho National Laboratory has developed prototype shielded nuclear material detection systems based on pulsed photonuclear assessment (PPA) techniques for the inspection of cargo containers as discussed by the authors, which have been demonstrated at higher electron beam energies than those allowed by federal regulations for cargo inspection.

Time-Dependent Delayed Signatures from Energetic Photon Interrogations
D.R. Norman,J.L. Jones,B.W. Blackburn,K.J. Haskell,James T. Johnson,Scott M. Watson,Alan W. Hunt,R. Spaulding,Frank Harmon +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that appropriate delayed-time windows are essential to acquire material-specific signatures in pulsed photonuclear assessment environments. But the authors do not consider the time and energy dependence of these signatures.
