Automated Trace-Explosives Detection for Passenger and Baggage Screening

Based on a high-throughput trace-explosives detector, two security equipment were developed to check passengers and baggage before boarding an aircraft. The traceexplosives detector consists of an automated particles sampler and a compact mass spectrometer. In the automated particles sampler, particles adhering to a surface of the detection targets are removed by air jets. A cyclone preconcentrato...
