Abstract

We investigated the sensitivity of NQR for explosives such as trinitrotoluene (TNT) and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX), the main constituent of explosives of landmines. We succeeded in the remote detection of RDX from 8 cm away using NQR. We have developed a prototype of an NQR landmine detector.
