A physically cryptographic warhead verification system using neutron induced nuclear resonances

Inspection and authentication of warheads is important for nuclear safety and security. Here the authors report experimental scheme for the verification of nuclear warheads using the neutron resonance transmission analysis of a reference and candidate objects while preserving the sensitive informati...
