Associated particle imaging (API), sometimes referred to as the tagged neutron method (TNM), is a three dimensional imaging technique that maps the distribution of elements within an object. In associated particle imaging, deuterium-tritium fusion reactions each produce a fast neutron and an associated particle (such as an alpha particle), which travel in opposite directions in the center-of-mass frame. By measuring the timing and position of the associated particle, the trajectory of the neutron may be inferred. The neutron may then enter an object of interest where it is likely to undergo inelastic scattering. This produces one or more gamma-rays of specific energies dependent on the element that the neutron scatters off of. By measuring the gamma-ray energy, the element may be identified. The timing of the gamma-ray coinciding with an associated particle allows the 3D imaging of an object's elemental composition. This technique has applications in agriculture (e.g. soil surveys), national security (counter-terrorism and weapons surveillance), and diamond detection, among other areas.
