Abstract:A method is described for epithermal neutron activation analysis of 17 elements in granite rock samples using a single standard. Gold has been used as a single comparator due to its relatively high resonance integral value (I0=400 barn). In addition, it is preferable to Co in order to obtain a large epithermal activation in a short irradiation. The method of calculation is simple and rapid and can be done using a small calculator. Epithermal activation is able to overcome the difficulty arising from changing irradiation position as well as increasing the number of determinable elements by eliminating the interference from undesired isotopes which have relatively high thermal cross section values (sgr0), when reactor neutron flux is used. The coupling of epithermal activation with the monostandard method has the advantage of using a small Cd-cover which overcomes most of the difficulties arising in the relative method with large volume cadmium filters.
