Comparing industrial gauges based on neutron and X-ray scattering

Neutron, gamma-ray and X-ray radiation scattering phenomena are used in gauges that measure the composition of industrial materials moving on industrial conveyers. Examples include measurement of water in wood chips using the simultaneous transmission of neutrons and gamma-rays and measurement of fa...

Description
Summary:Neutron, gamma-ray and X-ray radiation scattering phenomena are used in gauges that measure the composition of industrial materials moving on industrial conveyers. Examples include measurement of water in wood chips using the simultaneous transmission of neutrons and gamma-rays and measurement of fat in meat using dual energy X-ray transmission. The scattering processes are modelled to enable the materials to be accurately assessed.
