Introduction to Prompt-gamma Neutron Activation Analysis

Abstract

Prompt gamma-ray analysis (PGA) can be used for various research fields because the analytical method has many advantages, for example high accuracy, non-destructive measurement without chemical separation, and so on. Here I briefly review the principle and application of PGA. In chapter 5, I present a development of automatic measurement system of PGA at JRR-3M. Up to fourteen samples can be automatically measured by the system.
