The EURopean Illicit TRAfficing Countermeasures Kit (EURITRACK) Front-End and Data Acquisition System is a compact set of VME boards interfaced with a standard PC. The system is part of a cargo container inspection portal based on the tagged neutrons technique. The front-end processes all detector signals and checks coincidences between any of the 64 pixels of the alpha particle detector and any gamma-ray signals in 22 Nal(TI) scintillators. The system is capable of handling the data flow at neutron flux up to the portal limiting value of 10(8) neutrons/second. Some typical applications are presented.

Abstract
The EURopean Illicit TRAfficing Countermeasures Kit (EURITRACK) Front-End and Data Acquisition System is a compact set of VME boards interfaced with a standard PC. The system is part of a cargo container inspection portal based on the tagged neutrons technique. The front-end processes all detector signals and checks coincidences between any of the 64 pixels of the alpha particle detector and any gamma-ray signals in 22 Nal(TI) scintillators. The system is capable of handling the data flow at neutron flux up to the portal limiting value of 10(8) neutrons/second. Some typical applications are presented.
