Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis

Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis introduces the fundamental principals and the unique characteristics of the gamma-ray activation method together with its applications and limitations. Sample preparation, instruments, shielding and irradiation using prompt gamma-ray activation analysis techniques with various neutron sources are described in detail. The neutron damage to PGAA instruments, particularly the radiation detector, is investigated. The book compares unique features and limitations of PGAA versus conventional NAA methods. Approximately 50 tables help to illustrate and describe these exciting new methods.Zeev Alfassi is the author of 'Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis', published 1995 under ISBN 9780849351495 and ISBN 0849351499.
