Monte Carlo simulations of dual energy X-ray inspection systems

The imaging process for dual energy X-ray security inspection systems was simulated using the Monte Carlo method to improve material classification.The bremsstrahlung generated by the electron beam impinging the tungsten target and the interactions between the X-rays and the materials were simulated using the MCNP4C code.The results accurately show the material edges.Compared to previous experimental results and numerical algorithms,the classification curves from the Monte Carlo simulations are not affected by system noise and can achieve materials discrimination when the atomic number difference is one,with a computational time of several minutes.Tests on a series of representative materials and special testing toolboxes show that the Monte Carlo method improves the material classification of practical security inspection systems.
