Abstract(in English) Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) technique is expected as a promising method for explosive detection, since some major explosives are known to possess the substance-specific NQR frequency. We have developed a prototype of NQR explosive detection system and examined the applicability of NQR technique to explosive detection for aviation security. A blind test of NQR as well as X-ray baggage screening tests were conducted with 50 baggage-samples containing hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX: Research Department eXplosive) or non-explosive materials at the security-check gate in the airport. The resulting false positive rate of NQR screening was about one-tenth of that of the conventional X-ray inspection. It indicates that the security-check by NQR explosive detection technique is useful for the aviation security.
