In order to prevent influx of highly enriched nuclear material
throu-gh border checkpoints, new advanced detection schemes need to be
developed. Typical issues faced in this context are sources with very
low emission against a dominating natural background radiation. Sources
are expected to be small and shielded and hence cannot be detected from
measurements of radiation levels alone.
We consider collimated and Compton-type measurements and propose a detection
method that relies on the geometric singularity of small sources to
distinguish them from the more uniform background.
The method is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity and
allows for assigning confidence probabilities of detection.
The validity of our approach can be justified using properties of
related techniques from medical imaging. Results of numerical
simulations are presented for collimated and Compton-type measurements.
The 2D case is considered in detail.
