Activation analysis of geological materials using short-lived radionuclides

Tables are shown listing literature data on the activation analysis of geological samples using short-term activation by thermal neutrons. Elements are listed with a half-life of 10 s to 3 h determined in different geological materials, including their interference reactions, irradiation time, cooling time, measurement time, detection limit, and spectral lines. The most frequently determined elements included aluminium, vanadium, titanium, manganese, dysprosium, chlorine, magnesium, and calcium. (J.B.)
