CONFIDANTE Demonstration Prototype Report
This report summarizes design optimization and performance evaluation studies for a new prototype CONFIDANTE (CONfirmation using a Fast-neutron Imaging Detector with Anti-image Null-positive Time Encoding) warhead confirmation system. It was found that a spherical mask geometry and a 2” diameter cylindrical central detector is expected to best discriminate between the parametrically varied source distributions that were evaluated. The optimized design as fabricated and its performance was evaluated in a series of laboratory measurements. The performance was in good agreement with the design studies, with demonstrated discrimination between objects with differences in scale on the order of 5 centimeters or better at 1 meter stand-off
