Abstract
Energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) is proposed to be a promising technique for identifying dangerous materials. This paper focuses on the development of the EDXRD system. A high-energy-resolution system using a room temperature detector was established. The diffraction angle of the system was adjustable depending on the detected samples and some experiments were carried out to study the suitable diffraction angle for different samples. At a nominal diffraction angle of 5°, the energy resolution of the system was approximately 6-9%. The system could effectively inspect the concealed samples and obtain the distinguishable profiles through the packaging. These experimental results demonstrated that the EDXRD system could satisfy the requirement of security inspection.
