Description

Recent advances in on-line bulk elemental analysis using nuclear interactions with thermal and fast neutrons are reviewed. Three aspects of the advances are emphasized: very high count-rate gamma ray spectroscopy that maintained the energy fidelity, presence of discrete and continuum gamma rays in high energy region resulting from 14 MeV neutron interactions, and advanced data analysis incorporating a-priori knowledge.
