beam monitoring was accomplished by silicon photodiode maintained at
135° relative to the deuteron beam.
Let us describe an interesting application of such experimental setup: detec-
tion of explosive devices in passenger’s luggage. A set of explosive devices, land-
mines as shown in Figure 7.34, has been acquired and used in this experiment.
One of those explosive devices has been hidden in the suitcase containing the
