Identification of Explosives by X-Ray Diffraction

Abstract

This report presents a computer program for producing a data bank of X-ray diffraction patterns on explosives and explosive mixtures. The data to be used in this data bank is obtained from a diffractometer, Debye-Scherer films, and a Gandolfi camera. The computer program allows the rapid retrieval of X-ray data on any explosive in the file, and also the identification of unknown explosives with ones in the file, using statistical matching techniques.
