Prompt-Gamma Activation Analysis
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 ...
متن کاملXenon diffusion studies with prompt gamma activation analysis
Developing a better understanding of xenon transport through porous systems is critical to predicting how this gas will enter the atmosphere after a below ground nuclear weapons test. Radioxenon monitoring is a vital part of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) International Monitoring System. This work details the development of prompt gamma activation analysis for measuring the di...
متن کاملApplication of Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis to Investigate Archaeological Ceramics
Applicability of PGAA on pottery archaeometry has been proved in investigations of pre-Columbian figurines from Venezuela. PGAA is a non-destructive bulk analytical method, capable to determine concentration of majorand some trace components. We take part in the MÖB-DAAD project aimed to investigate Hungarian Neolithic pottery, and also in an IAEA CRP with more methodological objectives. Within...
متن کاملPrompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis for Certification of Sulfur in Fuel Oil SRMs.
A combination of cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CNPGAA) and thermal neutron (TN) PGAA was used to determine sulfur in fuel oils to develop a method to provide values for certification. CNPGAA was used to measure S/H mass ratios, and TNPGAA to measure hydrogen mass fractions. Measurements were combined to determine sulfur mass fractions (with expanded uncertainties) of 2.159 ...
متن کاملPrompt gamma analysis of chlorine in concrete for corrosion study.
Measurement of chlorine in concrete is very important for studying of corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete. Corrosion of reinforcing steel is primarily ascribed to the penetration of chloride ions to the steel surface. Preventive measures for avoiding concrete structure reinforcement corrosion requires monitoring the chloride ion concentration in concrete so that its concentration does no...
