The procedure in use at our institute for the extraction of the desired element concentrations in a sample from the peak data
obtained by a spectrum analysis program, is described in detail. The method is based on the use of zinc as a single comparator
and takes into consideration primary activation products as well as their daughter isotopes. After assigning isotopes to spectrum
peaks on the basis of γ-ray energies, the list of possible isotopes is reduced to a list of present isotopes with their concentrations
using criteria based on half life, specificity and intensity of γ-rays. For elements not observed, detection limits are estimated.
The procedure has been used extensively during the last two years and has shown to produce reliable results. 相似文献

A comprehensive compilation of X- and γ-ray emitting isotopes produced by the (n, γ) reaction is reported in this paper for
application to instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The X- and γ-ray sensitivities are computed theoretically
by a computer code. Interfering photons from isotopes of neighbouring elements are identified by the code and the percentage
interference is computed. Additionally an advantage factor (X-ray: γ-ray sensitivity) is computed, which is a figure of merit
for X-ray spectroscopy in INAA. Further, mathematical representation of background continua for typical matrices encountered
in INAA allow the calculation of elemental detection limits for the X-ray and γ-ray photons. 相似文献

Developments and applications of on-line nuclear gauges in the coal industry are highly requested. In this work, a nuclear
ash gauge for coal, based on γ-ray transmission techniques is developed. Single and dual energy γ-ray beams are used to determine
the ash content of coal. The percentage ash content as a function of the γ-ray intensities transmitted through coal samples
is measured and sensitivity curves are obtained. An empirical formulation relating the ash content values to the γ-ray intensities
is derived. Preliminary results show that both single and dual energy γ-ray transmission techniques can be used to give a
rapid on-line estimation of the ash concentration values in coal with low cost and reasonable accuracy, but the dual one is
much preferable. 相似文献

Gamma-ray yields from bombardment with protons of thick targets of Ti, V, Mn, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn are tabulated for
proton energies ranging between 0.6 and 3.2 MeV. The applications of these reactions for quantitative analysis of these chemical
elements are discussed. The sensitivity of this technique of analysis is poorer than the PIXE method for these transition
elements, but is sufficient for rapid and accurate quantitative analysis of alloys when elements are present in concentrations
down to 1%. The knowledge of the γ-ray energies and intensities produced by the bombardment of these elements with protons
is also necessary for solving interferences with several γ-rays induced in light elements, for which the proton induced γ-ray
technique is sensitive, without any correction for photon attenuation. 相似文献

KRIS offers the capability of resolving complex γ-spectra, even when spectra of the individual components are quite similar.
A scheme is employed which allows for the use of half-lives as well as γ-ray energies in the least-squares resolution of γ-spectra.
Options are also supplied for averaging of repetitive counts, least-squares smoothing of the data, iterative improvement of
the weighting factors used in the least-squares solution, and use of either live or clock time counts. The number of control
cards required for each sample has been minimized to simplify input. KRIS is written in FORTRAN IV and is being run under
Fortran G and the Watfor compiler on the IBM 360/65.
The name of the program, KRIS, is not an acronym, nor does it have any scientific significance. 相似文献

Monte Carlo calculations were carried out to study the dependence of γ-ray yield on the bulk density and moisture content
of a sample in a thermal-neutron capture-based prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) setup. The results of the
study showed a strong dependence of the γ-ray yield upon the sample bulk density. An order of magnitude increase in yield
of 1.94 and 6.42 MeV prompt γ-rays from calcium in a Portland cement sample was observed for a corresponding order of magnitude
increase in the sample bulk density. On the contrary the γ-ray yield has a weak dependence on sample moisture content and
an increase of only 20% in yield of 1.94 and 6.42 MeV prompt γ-rays from calcium in the Portland cement sample was observed
for an order of magnitude increase in the moisture content of the Portland cement sample. A similar effect of moisture content
has been observed on the yield of 1.167 MeV prompt γ-rays from chlorine contaminants in Portland cement samples. For an order
of magnitude increase in the moisture content of the sample, a 7 to 12% increase in the yield of the 1.167 MeV chlorine γ-ray
was observed for the Portland cement samples containing 1 to 5 wt.% chlorine contaminants. This study has shown that effects
of sample moisture content on prompt γ-ray yield from constituents of a Portland cement sample are insignificant in a thermal-neutrons
capture-based PGNAA setup. 相似文献

The precision and accuracy of the peak energy allocation in γ-ray spectrometry govern the subsequent computer processing of
the data. By applying the main procedures for peak energy determination to a well-defined case, it is possible to define the
minimal statistical uncertainties to be expected. The systematic bias of the energies obtained is caused mainly by changes
in the total count rate. A correction can be applied based on the pulser peak. From the precision and the accuracy of the
peak energy determination, the scanning width for automatic peak indexing follows. 相似文献

The 14N(n,γ)15N reaction is a primary γ-ray source for high energy calibration of detectors. The relative γ-ray-intensities of 15N and the relative γ-ray detection efficiency function have been simultaneously determined up to 10 MeV from γ-peak areas
alone. Absolute γ-ray-intensities were obtained with proper renormalization to known absolute intensity. The influence of
these new intensity values are assessed for use in PGAA. Any consistently used set of calibration intensities applied in the
creation of library values and for analysis do not influence the concentrations. Contrary to this, quantities based on sums
of γ-ray cross sections may provide different answers with the new 15N intensities and they give means to validate them. 相似文献

Determination of ppm levels of B in 21 igneous and sedimentary rocks of the Japanese geochemical reference samples prepared
by the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has been performed by neutron-induced prompt γ-ray analysis (PGA) using cold and thermal
guided neutron beams of the JRR-3M. Owing to the Doppler broadened γ-ray line of B 478 keV, many elements such as Na, Ni,
Cl and so on showed spectral interference in the determination of B. The interference was corrected by computer fitting and
a reference peak method. The analytical results obtained by the present method almost agreed with the GSJ values recommended
in 1994 within the standard deviation of the recommended values. Sodium contents determined by the PGA in the reference rock
samples are also reported. 相似文献

A neutron generator-based on-line coal analysis system is described, capable of measuring the content of the major and minor
elements in coal. The system utilizes reactions produced from fast and themal neutrons, as well as from neutron activation
with half lives of seconds or minutes. Characteristic γ-rays, detected with BGO detectors are used for the identification
of the various chemical elements. The method for the analysis of the γ-ray spectra is presented, and the measurements of coal
density, carbon and sulfur content are shown. 相似文献

An analytical function for describing the response function of γ-rays from the NaI(Ti) detector was constructed with the purpose
of establishing the method of automatic γ-ray spectrum analysis. The response was found to be divided into six portions; the
function of each portion joins smoothly to the one representing the adjacent part. Empirical equations for the parameters
specifying the response function were found as functions of the γ-ray energy in relation to the detector dimension. The obtained
response function was fitted to the observed spectrum by the least squares method. The calculated spectrum agreed well with
the observed one. 相似文献

In order to reduce the toxicity of both raw wastewater and effluent from a rubber products factory, γ-ray treatment was applied
at different dose levels. The γ-ray treatment did not completely removed the toxicity, suggesting that there were major toxicants
other than destroyable organic compounds. Toxicity identification evaluation (TIE phase 1) was conducted to characterize major
toxicants using Daphnia magna. The suspected toxicants in both raw wastewater and effluent were mostly filterable materials and EDTA chelatable metals
and, to some degree, non-polar organic compounds. Anion-exchange removable compounds, most likely organics, were found only
in raw wastewater. Metal analyses showed that zinc and copper concentrations were above levels causing toxicity to D. magna. After 20 kGy γ-ray treatment of raw wastewater, filtrations both at pH 3 and at the initial pH (pH 3.6) showed dramatic
change (9 to 77% and 29 to 85%, respectively) in toxicity reduction, suggesting the formation of toxic filterable materials
which are stable even at acidic conditions. Unlike raw wastewater, there was no significant change in TIE results after γ-ray
treatment at 20 kGy for rubber effluent. 相似文献

Production of atomic X-rays and nuclear γ-rays by bombardment with 0–3 MeV protons of thick targets is described. In the case
of low-Z atomic X-rays, the absorption in the target is very large, while in the case ofK X-rays from high-Z atoms or for γ-rays, this phenomenon is negligible. Both of these reactions can be used for analysis of elements from F to
U, and the sensitivities and the accuracies of the determinations are discussed. A table is given showing the γ-ray energies
observed in 11 substances and the limits of sensitivity. 相似文献

2-Ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid (PC-88A) and Tributylphosphate (TBP) extractants have been attached to polypropylene
(PP) in granular, film and non-woven fabric forms, by a simultaneous γ-ray irradiation method. The extraction of plutonium
from the acidic radioactive liquid waste by modified polymers was studied by varying the γ-ray dose. The uptake of plutonium
was also studied by polyethylene (PE) in film form. This modified polymer also showed extraction capability for plutonium
from nitric acid medium. The uptake of plutonium depends upon the γ-ray dose as well as the nature and source of the polymer.
Liquid–solid extraction studies showed that the equivalent amount of uptake of plutonium on TBP–polyethylene film requires
twice the γ-ray dose as compare to TBP–polypropylene film. It was observed that at given γ-ray dose polypropylene fabric is
not sturdy, compare to the granules and films, and material leach out in aqueous phase. The presence of other solvents like
di-methyl formamide (DMF) and cyclohexane during γ-ray irradiation were able to enhance the extraction capabilities. The optimum
conditions established during this study was successfully applied for the separation of plutonium, uranium and thorium from
the fission products in acidic waste solution. 相似文献

The concentrations of radium isotopes and the progenies (226Ra; 228Ra and 228Th) in three hokutolite samples from Tamagawa hot-spring were measured. These isotopes were analyzed by a well-type HPGe γ-ray
spectrometer for the 351, 911 and 583 keV γ-ray from 214Pb, 228Ac and 208Tl, respectively, each being in radioactive equilibrium with precursors. Concentration of 226Ra and 228Ra were observed to be in the range of 52–85 and 7.1–85 Bq/g, respectively. The activity ratios of 228Ra/226Ra and 228Th/226Ra provided the estimation of the growth rate (0.09–0.15 mm/y). Estimated 228Ra/226Ra activity ratios in hot-spring water from surface of three hokutolite were concordant. 相似文献

The γ-ray spectrum analysis code HYPERMET-PC has been significantly upgraded since its introduction in the firstk
0-Users Workshop (1992). Some aspects of the implemented procedures in the new version 5.0, such as the novel approach to handle
tandem LFC spectra and the benefit of using ortho-normal polynomials for fitting efficiency curves will be outlined. Having
realized the importance of quality assurance in applied γ-ray spectrometry, additional utilities have been incorporated for
checking system parameters: nonlinearity, energy resolution, etc. The new Nuclide Identification routine makes the program
suitable for qualitative analysis both of NAA and PGAA type. 相似文献
