Dual energy X-ray system using high energy X-ray from linear accelerator (Linac) applies two times X-ray irradiation which have different energy spectrum each other in many cases. Two different X-rays yield two tomography images which is analyzed through numerical calculation with pixel values for material recognition of a object. However if the X-ray generation is not stable, the results of numerical calculation shows irregular tendency during the inspection. We propose the scintillator array in detection part, because two tomography images are obtained by just one irradiation. That leads to the time saving during inspection and the cost down for additional facilities. The optimal condition is researched to increase the ability of material recognition in interesting materials designing the detector with CsI and CdWO4 scintillators. We focus on the discrimination between heavy materials and light materials with the system in the research. X-ray source is 950 keV X-band Linac we developed for industrial application, which produce pulsed X-ray, 10 pps with around 400 mA beam current.
