Abstract
Detection of explosives has always been an important fact for homeland security. Terahertz spectroscopy and imaging is an emerging, promising candidate in this field. We use time domain THz spectroscopy and we demonstrate that a methodology based on chemometrics is successful for discrimination of explosives and prediction of their concentration in complex samples made by mixture of products.
