Abstract

One key component of any active interrogation (AI) system that is not present in passive measurements is the source of probing radiation. This chapter introduces the physical principles of operation of linear accelerators, cyclotrons, and novel laser-driven sources, along with the review of radioisotope sources and the use of natural radiation for AI. Some of the critical parts of these technologies are discussed in more detail. In addition, the common characteristics of various probe technologies are provided.

Section 5.4 was prepared by Cameron Geddes (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Rd, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA), e-mail: CGRGeddes@lbl.gov
