Background: Pulsed fast/thermal neutron analysis（PFTNA） is an advanced bulk technique for non-destructive elemental characterization

which was applied to landmine identification in some advanced countries.Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of the PFTNA landmine detection method.Methods: A PFTNA landmine identification system was set up based on a millisecond pulsed D-T neutron generator and a LaBr3（Ce） gamma detector.Interrogative experiment was carried out on different landmines and distracters in the typical organic soils and inorganic soils.Results: The fast neutron induced spectra and the thermal neutron induced spectra of the samples were obtained successfully through time-sharing measurement circuit.The relative contents of 12C、16O、1H、14N contained in the objects were obtained through the analysis of the neutron induced spectra.Conclusions: It could be concluded that the PFTNA method can identify the landmines from the common distracters.
