material within the inspected volume and its approximate mass. Fully digital
data acquisition electronics is capable of performing alpha–gamma coincidence
analysis at very high counting rates, which leads to the reduction of the detection
time down to dozens of seconds. SENNA’s scenario-driven automatic decision-
making algorithm based of “fuzzy logic” mechanism allows one to detect not only
standard military or industrial explosives, but also improvised explosives (includ-
ing those containing no nitrogen), even if their chemical composition diers from
that of standard explosives. According to the authors ...
