Coincidence method for the analysis of minor elements in steel by deuteron-induced prompt γ-ray spectrometry (d-PIGE)

Description

The sensitivities of minor elements analysis in a standard steel sample irradiated with 5 MeV deuterons have been determined by the regular deuteron-induced γ-ray emission (d-PIGE) method and with the selection of the (d, n) reaction channel by measuring γ-n coincidences. This approach has resulted in a significant improvement of the sensitivity of the analysis. A comparative study with the published results using protons as projectiles was also made
