Detection for Security

08 May 2008

Issue 5, 2008 of The Analyst features a collection of papers on the theme of Detection for Security, guest edited by Andy Bell and Pankaj Vadgama. 

This special set of papers comprises both reviews and primary research articles and includes the outcome of a high profile joint US-UK meeting on detection devices for security held in London in April 2007. 

 

"The detection of chemical, biological, radiological and explosive (CBR & E) material that can be used to harm poses analytical challenges which are exceptional both in quantitative and qualitative terms... nowhere is there quite the same stringent requirement to identify and quantitate unknown entities with such speed, efficiency, and accuracy."
