Correction for neutron self-shielding and gamma-ray self-absorption in prompt-gamma activation analysis for large and irregularly shaped samples
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) has been extended and validated to measure large irregularly shaped samples. The detailed sample geometry was implemented in the MCNP-model of setup accurate matrix-effect corrections were obtained.

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولA Numerical Approach to Pu Gamma-ray Self-absorption Correction
Self absorption is a significant source of error in the assay of Pu-bearing waste by gamma-ray spectrometry. Differential absorption of the 129keV and 414keV lines can be used as a means of determining self-absorption and applying a correction. With a view to refining this technique, the behaviour of the 129keV and 414keV lines from Pu as they emerge from lumps of Pu has been studied using a po...
متن کاملLarge Sample Neutron Activation Analysis: correction for neutron and gamma attenuation
Most analytical techniques do not comply with the need for direct trace element analysis of samples exceeding the order of grams. Instead, sub-sampling methods are used to obtain representative sampling of the initial material. The possibilities arising from directly analyzing voluminous samples have been discussed [4]. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) is a powerful technique, wh...

A permanent, full-time instrument for prompt-gamma activation analysis is nearing completion as part of the Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF). The design of the analytical system has been optimized for high gamma detection efficiency and low background, particularly for hydrogen. Because of the purity of the neutron beam, shielding requirements are modest and the scatter-capture background ...
