1. A detection system comprising:
a walk-through detector, said walk-through detector comprising two side panels substantially symmetrical with respect to a plane and being configured to define a transit channel for an inspected person, said side panels comprising successively along the plane a first portion at an entrance of the transit channel and a second portion extending between the first portion and an exit of the transit channel, the first portion and the second portion being monolithic, the first portion and the second portion of the side panels each having an inner face, the inner face of the first portion of one of the side panels facing the inner face of the first portion of the other of the side panels and the inner face of the second portion of one of the side panels facing the inner face of the second portion of the other of the side panels;
a metal detector housed in the first portion of the side panels comprising a transmitting assembly configured to transmit a magnetic field and a receiving assembly configured to detect disturbances of the magnetic field due to a target object; and
a body scanner housed in the second portion of the side panels, said body scanner comprising at least one antenna configured to emit radiant energy;
wherein the inner faces of the first portion of the side panels are substantially planar and parallel to each other and are separated by a distance at least equal to 800 mm and less than or equal to 900 mm, and
wherein the distance between the inner faces of the second portion of the side panels gradually increases from the first portion towards up to a maximum distance and then gradually decreases towards the exit of the transit channel, the maximum distance between the inner faces of the second portion of the side panels is greater than or equal to 1,000 mm and less than or equal to 1,200 mm.
