Comparing industrial gauges based on neutron and X-ray scattering

摘要

Neutron, gamma-ray and X-ray radiation scattering phenomena are used in gauges that measure the composition of industrial materials moving on industrial conveyers. Examples include measurement of water in wood chips using the simultaneous transmission of neutrons and gamma-rays and measurement of fat in meat using dual energy X-ray transmission. The scattering processes arc modelled to enable the materials to be accurately assessed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
