title: The separation of X-ray diffraction patterns for threat detection.
abstract: We introduce a novel method for identifying materials using a series of X-ray diffractograms collected in transmission. A multiple perspective approach is used to identify the diffractograms produced by materials located at different positions along the primary X-ray beam. This technique promises to enhance materials identification performance in cluttered environments such as those prevalent in aviation security screening.
