Description
Prompt high energy gamma rays induced by moderate beam currents of 2 MeV 3He+ ions on thick targets of boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen were evaluated for analytical purposes. Gamma rays were observed from (3He,p), (3He,α) and Coulomb excitation reactions. Interference-free determination of boron, and carbon was achieved at concentrations of a few parts per thousand. At these concentrations a precision of about 10% was attainable. The technique was tested by determining carbon in standard steel specimens. (orig.)
