Abstract

Trace quantities of particles are generally left behind during the transport of explosive materials or from fingerprints of their handlers. We use a Deep-ultraviolet resonance Raman explosive detection (DURRED) sensor developed at the High Technology Foundation to study explosive trace samples with varying fill factors. In this study we show high sensitivity detection of very low-fill factor traces of KNO3, KClO3 and PETN. Receiver operating characteristics generated from samples (>20% fill) at a moderate signal-to-noise ratio of ~7 showed a probability of detection greater than >99.9%, a false acceptance rate of less than 2×10-4.
