In many Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) the main charge consists of ammonium nitrate (AN). For forensic reasons, screening for the origin of AN is of importance. By assessing specifi c characteristics, diff erent AN batches can be profi led, in this way providing extra information which could lead to the origin of the AN batches. In our research we give a proof-of-principle of this profi ling methodology. Several batches of AN, with diff erent origin, were analyzed with several techniques. Both analytical and thermal analysis were performed. Each of the analysis techniques determines specifi c properties of the AN batches. By combining the results of all of these techniques, a unique ‘fi ngerprint’ was obtained of the investigated AN ba...
