“…In 2008, Segebade gave a brief but complete overview of PAA research in a chapter of Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry [3]. In the recent few years, PAA has expanded its applications to radiotherapy, meteorology, geochemistry, archeology, industrial material, and environmental studies, etc [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

a b s t r a c tA sample of known elemental concentrations was activated in the bremsstrahlung photon beam which was created by a pulsed electron LINAC. Several procedures of photon activation analysis, including those applied with/without reference material and with/without photon flux monitor, were conducted to make a comparison of their precision and accuracy in practice. Experimental results have indicated that: (1) relative procedures usually produce better outcome despite that the absolute measurement is straightforward and eliminate the assistance of reference materials; (2) among relative procedures, the method with internal flux monitor yields higher quality of the analytical results. In the article, the pros and cons of each procedure are discussed as well.
