A survey of the analytical significance of prompt gamma-rays induced by 5 MeV alpha-particles

  • 1. Southern Universities Nuclear Inst., Faure (South Africa)

Description

Alpha induced prompt gamma-rays generated by excitation, or in nuclear reactions, were studied for 56 elements to select elements having gamma-rays of sufficient intensity for analytical application. A catalogue of observed gamma-rays is given which lists their calculated interference-free sensitivities for analysis. Spectra of elements which potentially may be determined or which provide serious interference in the determination of other elements are illustrated, together with a compilation in increasing order of energy of all observed gamma-rays.
