Silver atoms that are caught in the penetrating beam capture neutrons and briefly become unstable isotopes, emitting gamma rays that can be recorded by the snooper's scintillation counter. Since silver isotopes, like radioactive atoms of other elements, have their own characteristic half life-or rate of decay-and emit gamma rays at a specific energy level, the snooper's detectors can distinguish them from atoms of other elements in the area that have also been made radioactive by the neutron beam...
