A High-sensitivity and Non-destructive Trace Element Analysis Based on Multiple Gamma-ray Detection

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: A new trace-element quantification method has been developed by combining multiple gamma-ray detection and neutron activation analysis. This method is characterized by high sensitivity and simultaneous analysis for multielements. The quantification accuracy amounts to 3–20% depending on statistics. It has been successfully applied to the analyses of igneous rock samples, long-lived radionuclide, 129I, and geologic samples. Future perspectives for an innovative pulsed neutron source and a new detector system will be presented.
