Single element mapping in radiography (2009)
Journal Article
Austin, J. C., Day, C. R., Kearon, A. T., & Haycock, P. W. (2009). Single element mapping in radiography. X-Ray Spectrometry, 38(6), 492-504. https://doi.org/10.1002/xrs.1204

This article reports on the application of element-specific mapping using the Bremsstrahlung of a commercial broad spectrum X-ray source to map lighter elements (zirconium to tin) and heavier elements (tantalum to bismuth) individually within an imag...

Element-specific determination of X-ray transmission signatures using neural networks (2009)
Journal Article
Day, C. R., Austin, J. C., Butcher, J. B., Haycock, P. W., & Kearon, A. T. (2009). Element-specific determination of X-ray transmission signatures using neural networks. NDT and E International, 42(5), 446-451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ndteint.2009.02.005

In this article, we report on the application of neural networks to the problem of making an element-specific determination of unknown metal targets based on the characteristics of their transmitted X-ray signatures. Our method was applied to two gro... Read More about Element-specific determination of X-ray transmission signatures using neural networks.

Using polychromatic X-radiography to examine realistic imitation firearms (2008)
Journal Article
Austin, J., Day, C., Kearon, A., Valussi, S., & Haycock, P. (2008). Using polychromatic X-radiography to examine realistic imitation firearms. Forensic Science International, 191(1-3), 26-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2008.08.007

Sections 36–41 of the Violent Crimes Reduction Act (2006), which came into force in England and Wales on 1st October 2007, have placed significant restrictions on the sale and possession of ‘realistic imitation firearms’. This legislation attempts to... Read More about Using polychromatic X-radiography to examine realistic imitation firearms.
