The experimental results of the activation with polychromatic fast neutrons produced by 9Be(d , n)10B reaction in a 2 MV Van de Graaff accelerator are presented. These neutrons, although they do not have much energy to produce the usual fast neutron reactions, do induce usable (n, n') and (n, ƒÁ) reactions. Sensitivity values of various elements, and analytical applications of the BeD neutron activation are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
