ACTIVATION-ANALYSIS OPPORTUNITIES USING A5.1012 TO 5.1013 N-SEC 14 MEV GENERATOR Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Capabilities of 14 MeV neutron activation analysis with a high output generator are evaluated and found to be comparable with conventional activation analysis regarding sensitivity and precision; additional elements are instrumentally accessible at trace levels. Nuclear reactions featuring higher selectivity are listed and their sensitivity is compared to the present state of 14 MeV activation. Quasi-promt activation (T<1 sec) expands the scope of the technique to rapid nondestructive assays of trace species in bulk samples. 1977 Akadmiai Kiad.
