The dependence of the nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) yield on the target thickness was studied. To this end, an NRF experiment was performed on $$^{238}$$U using a laser Compton back-scattering (LCS) $$gamma$$-ray beam at the High Intensity $$gamma$$-ray Source facility at Duke University.

The performance of LaBr$$_{3}$$ (Ce) to measure nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) excitations is discussedin terms of limits of detection and in comparison with high-purity germanium (HPGe)detectors near the 2 MeV region where many NRF excitation levels from special nuclear materials are located. The NRF experiment was performed at the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) facility of Duke University. The incident $$gamma$$-rays, of 2.12 MeV energy, hit a B$$_{4}$$C target to excite the $$^{11}$$B nuclei to the first excitation level. The statistical-sensitive non-linear peak clipping (SNIP) algorithm was implemented to eliminate theback ground and enhance the limits of detection for the spectra measured with LaBr$$_{3}$$ (Ce). Both detection and determination limits were deduced from the experimental data.

A nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) experiment was performed on a $$^{235}$$U target with quasi-monochromatic $$gamma$$-rays at the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) facility of Duke University using a 1733 keV resonant energy. A LaBr$$_3$$ (Ce) detector array consisting of eight cylindrical detectors, each with a length of 7.62 cm and a diameter of 3.81 cm, was implemented in this measurement. Moreover, a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector array consisting of four detectors, each of which has a relative efficiency of 60%, was used as the benchmark for the measurement taken using the LaBr$$_3$$ (Ce) detector array. The integrated cross section of the NRF level, measured with LaBr$$_3$$ (Ce) detectors, showed good agreement with the available data.

A non-destructive assay method for measuring a shielded chemical compound has been proposed. The chemical compound is measured by using a nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) measurement technique with an energy tunable laser Compton scattering (LCS) $$gamma$$-ray source. This method has an advantage that hidden materials can be detected through heavy shields such as iron plates of a thickness of several centimeters. A detection of a chemical compound of melamine, C$$_{3}$$H$$_{6}$$N$$_{6}$$, shielded by 15-mm-thick iron and 4-mm-thick lead plates is demonstrated. The NRF $$gamma$$-rays of $$^{12}$$C and $$^{14}$$N of the melamine are measured by using the LCS $$gamma$$-rays of the energies of up to 5.0 MeV. The observed ratio ($$^{12}$$C/$$^{14}$$N)$$_{exp}$$ = 0.39 $$pm$$ 0.12 is consistent with (C/N)$$_{melamine}$$ = 0.5.

We propose a non-destructive assay method for measuring an isotope and a chemical compound hidden by heavy shields such as iron plates of a thickness of several centimeters. We use a nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) measurement technique with an energy tunable laser Compton scattering (LCS) $$gamma$$-ray source. Isotope mapping of a block of $$^{208}$$Pb concealed in an iron box of 1.5 cm thickness has been demonstrated. We also demonstrate detection of a chemical compound of melamine, C$$_{3}$$H$$_{6}$$N$$_{6}$$, shielded by 15-mm-thick iron and 4-mm-thick lead plates. We measure NRF $$gamma$$-rays of $$^{12}$$C and $$^{14}$$N of the melamine by using the LCS $$gamma$$-rays of the energies of up to 5.0 MeV. The observed ratio ($$^{12}$$C/$$^{14}$$N)$$_{rm exp}$$ = 0.39 $$pm$$ 0.12 is consistent with (C/N)$$_{rm melamine}$$ = 0.5.

Nuclear resonance fluorescence in U-238 using LaBr detectors for nuclear security

Recently, a nondestructive measurement method of shielded fissional isotopes such as $$^{235}$$U or $$^{239}$$Pu has been proposed for the nuclear security. These isotopes are measured by using nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) with monochromatic energy $$gamma$$-ray beams generated by laser Compton-scattering (LCS). We have proposed that one measure scattered $$gamma$$-rays from NRF with LCS $$gamma$$-ray beams using the LaBr$$_{3}$$(Ce) detectors. The LaBr$$_{3}$$(Ce) crystals include internal radioisotopes of a meta-stable isotope $$^{138}$$La and alpha decay chains from some actinides as $$^{227}$$Ac. There is a broad pump at about 2 MeV. This pump is considered to be an overlap of $$alpha$$-rays from decay chains of some actinides but its detailed structure has not been established. Here we have measured NRF spectra of $$^{238}$$U using the LCS $$gamma$$-rays with energy of about 2.5 MeV at the HIgS facility of the Duke University. The background has been evaluated using a simulation code GEAT4. The 9 peaks, 8 NRF $$gamma$$-rays plus the Compton scattered $$gamma$$-ray of the incident beam, are finally assigned in an energy range of about 200 keV at about 2.5 MeV. The 8 integrated NRF cross-sections measured by LaBr$$_{3}$$(Ce) have been consistent with results by an HPGe detector. The three levels are newly assigned using the HPGe detector. Two of them are also measured by LaBr$$_{3}$$(Ce).
