Terahertz scattering from granular material

Abstract

Terahertz (THz) imaging is emerging as a potentially powerful method of detecting explosive devices, even in the presence of occluding materials. However, the characteristic spectral signatures of pure explosive materials may be altered or obscured by electromagnetic scattering caused by their granular nature. This paper presents THz transmission measurements of granular systems representative of explosives and presents results from dense media theory that accurately explain the observed scattering response.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • For compacted granular samples, anomalous spectral features have been observed in polyethylene, ammonium nitrate powder, flour, salt, Prussian Blue dye, Dinitrotoluene, and common sugars.

    “For compacted granular samples, these features have been observed in polyethylene [7], ammonium nitrate powder, flour, and salt [8], Prussian Blue dye [9], Dinitrotoluene [11], and common sugars [11], [13].”
  • Anomalous spectral features have been observed in THz-TDS measurements of granular samples and samples with rough surfaces.

    “The presence of anomalous spectral features has been observed when performing THz-TDS on granular samples [7], [8], [9], [10], [11] and samples with rough surfaces [12], [13], [14], [15].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
