Neutron Activation andand Activation Analysis 11/26/09 1 General 2 General Many nuclear reactions produce radioactive products. The most common of these reactions involve neutrons: Neutron + Target Nuclide → Activation Product 3 General Important Applications/Issues Associated with Neutron Activation 1. Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) This is an extraordinarily powerful technique for identifying and quantifying various elements (and nuclides) in a sample. 2. Neutron Fluence Rate (Flux) Measurements Neutron fluence rates in reactors or other neutron sources can be measured by ...

II. New Data and Directions for Neutron Activation Analysis Richard B. Firestone Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720 USA Lecture presented at the Workshop on Nuclear Data for Activation Analysis, 7-18 March 2005, Trieste, Italy I. Introduction In recent years substantial progress has been achieved in the field of Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis (PGAA). The PGAA application also incorporates the use of short-lived activation analysis products. Recently, new precise k 0 measurements for PGAA were performed at the Budapest ...
