Description

Full text: A thermal-neutron capture based Prompt Gamma ray Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) setup has been developed to analyze bulk material samples. The cylindrical PGNAA sample is located in a rectangular moderator, The setup has been tested with elemental analysis of a Portland cement sample. The gamma ray yield from calcium, silicon and iron in a Portland cement sample was measured as a function of thermal neutron intensity at the sample location. The thermal neutron intensity was varied at the sample location through the front moderator thickness change. The results of the experimental study have an excellent agreement with the results of Monte Carlo simulations. Copyright (2005) Australian Institute of Physics
