Sensitivities and interferences in activation analysis of thin samples by means of 25-MeV to 30-MeV protons

  • 1. Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium

Description

Activation properties of Na, Mg, Cl, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Br, Sr, Cd, Sn, Sb, and Pb through bombardment of thin samples by 25-MeV to 30-MeV protons for routine analysis are considered. In the investigation of airborne particulate matter, interferences between competitive reactions can be solved. Under normal nonlimitative irradiation and counting conditions, limits of detection are in the nanogram to microgram levels according to the element considered. 1 figure, 4 tables
