Analytical sensitivities of proton-and deuteron-activation analysis for chemical elements with 3 ≤Z≤ 92

The result of thick target yield measuring for radionuclides produced in p, d induced reactions in target elements with Z=3 to 92 depending on projectile energies have been presented in the range of Eth to 12 MeV. The proton energy of 11 MeV and that of deuteron of 6 MeV are the best suitable to provide high sensitivity and low background primary interference reactions. The yields obtained as Βk/μA · h are used for estimation of analytical sensitivities expressed in ppm/μA · h. Such data have been obtained for 44 elements for proton induced reactions and for 52 elements in case of deuteron induced reaction. From these data detection limits have been obtained. It have been shown that these indices of the methods are within (7 · 10-4 - 1 · 1-3) ppm/μA · h range. (author)
