Laser-plasma based source 3D Tomography for cargo inspection

Descripción del proyecto

Escáneres mejorados para atrapar a traficantes

El cribado con rayos X durante las inspecciones fronterizas o aduaneras, que se ha venido utilizando desde hace veinte años, se ha quedado limitado a la hora de detectar las herramientas, los métodos y los materiales diversos y novedosos actuales del tráfico ilícito. Para avanzar respecto de los métodos de cribado bidimensionales, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos MULTISCAN 3D estudiará cómo prever el uso de rayos X de alta energía para abordar la inspección volumétrica de cargas de grandes dimensiones. El objetivo es desarrollar un tomógrafo de rayos X tridimensionales (3D) de alta energía compatible con los rápidos procesos aduaneros. El proyecto se centrará en los siguientes ámbitos de trabajo: nuevas tecnologías de aceleración de electrones para generar rayos X, reconstrucción 3D para configuraciones con múltiples vistas, tratamiento de datos, detectores y control de fuentes de rayos X.

Objetivo

Within the field of security, Customs and Border inspection have not had breakthrough technological developments in the last 20 years, since the introduction of X-ray screening. The limits of these current technologies are accentuated by the increasing diversity and novelty in trafficking materials, tools and methods. These limitations combined with the growing needs of inspection and control call for a disruptive innovative solution.
Wanting to move a step up from the existing planar scanning methods with limited material identification results, several studies have identified potential solutions focused on:
- High energy 3D X-ray tomography
- Neutron interrogation/photofission
- Nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRR)
While these show good results and performances, they also have several important drawbacks, which limits their possible uses. Moreover, these solutions do not have common technological bricks meaning they can only lead to separate disposals.
The proposed MULTISCAN3D investigates a new all-in-one system whose purpose is to become simultaneously a user-friendly, flexible, relocatable solution offering high-quality information for:
- Fast high energy 3D X-rays tomography (as first line)
- Neutron interrogation/photofission (as second line)
- Narrow gamma ray beam based NRR (as second line)
MULTISCAN3D will start by investigating and defining needs and requirements, in a technologically-neutral way, with Europe’s most prominent Customs Authorities which will be translated to technical specifications. The main body of the research will be focused on three parts, following which, lab validations and real-environment demonstration will be carried out. These three work areas are:
- Laser-plasma based accelerators as X-ray sources
- 3D reconstruction for multi-view configurations and data processing
- Detectors and source monitoring
At the same time complementary techniques with chemical and SNM identification capabilities will be investigated.
