Abstract.

Characterizing recovered explosives from a bombing or qaccidents and finding distinctive markers is crucial to clarify the threat and to follow up the emergency. The goal of our work is to design and implement a new analytical platform to analyze isotope ratio of carbon \( \delta^{13}\)C and nitrogen content using a cavity ring down spectroscopy laser spectrometer.
