This volume constitutes the state-of-the-art in active
interrogation, widely recognized as indispensable methods for
addressing current and future nuclear security needs. Written by a
leading group of science and technology experts, this comprehensive
reference presents technologies and systems in the context of the
fundamental physics challenges and practical requirements. It
compares the features, limitations, technologies, and impact of
passive and active measurement techniques; describes radiation
sources for active interrogation including electron and ion
accelerators, intense lasers, and radioisotope-based sources; and
it describes radiation detectors used for active interrogation.
Entire chapters are devoted to data acquisition and processing
systems, modeling and simulation, data interpretation and
algorithms, and a survey of working active measurement systems.
Active Interrogation in Nuclear Security is structured to appeal to
a range of audiences, including graduate students, active
researchers in the field, and policy analysts. The first book
devoted entirely to active interrogation Presents a focused review
of the relevant physics Surveys available technology Analyzes
scientific and technology trends Provides historical and policy
context Igor Jovanovic is a Professor of Nuclear Engineering and
Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan and has
previously also taught at Penn State University and Purdue
University. He received his Ph.D. from University of California,
Berkeley and worked as physicist at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory. Dr. Jovanovic has made numerous contributions to the
science and technology of radiation detection, as well as the
radiation sources for use in active interrogation in nuclear
security. He has taught numerous undergraduate and graduate courses
in areas that include radiation detection, nuclear physics, and
nuclear security. At University of Michigan Dr. Jovanovic is the
director of Neutron Science Laboratory and is also associated with
the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science. Anna Erickson is an
Assistant Professor in the Nuclear and Radiological Engineering
Program of the G.W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at
Georgia Institute of Technology. Previously, she was a postdoctoral
researcher in the Advanced Detectors Group at Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory. Dr. Erickson received her PhD from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a focus on radiation
detection for active interrogation applications. Her research
interests focus on nuclear non-proliferation including antineutrino
analysis and non-traditional detector design and characterization.
She teaches courses in advanced experimental detection for reactor
and nuclear nonproliferation applications, radiation dosimetry and
fast reactor analysis.
