Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, there are many terrorist attacks such as those in USA and Russia. As a common need in the world, “Counterterrorism Technology for Safe and Reliable Society” is one of the most important policies in science and technology of Japan. Then, a novel device performing comprehensive analysis and sensitive identification of the explosives used in military and industry is urgently required to date. The purpose of this study is quantum chemical calculation of the explosive molecules used in the terrorist attacks in order to support the analytical technique based on femtosecond laser ionization mass spectrometry to evaluate their spectral properties to find optimal conditions for ionization.
