Archeological artifacts can be analyzed after neutron irradiation at the pulsed ISIS and muon source, UK, using a newly installed high purity germanium gamma ray spectrometer to perform activation analysis. In this work, details of measurement methods data analysis are presented. particular, it is explained how Monte Carlo calculations necessary evaluate detection efficiency, taking into accoun...

The peak profile shape analysis has been preferentially used in evaluation of X-ray and synchrotron powder diffraction pattern. However, neutron diffraction facilities of new generation frequently offer the instrumental resolution high enough to study efficiently the effects of broadening of neutron diffraction profiles. The present paper describes the procedure for a detailed evaluation of Bra...

Neutron Activation Analysis Prognosis and Optimization (NAAPRO) code was applied for the prognosis of activation products, their activities, number counts recorded in detector, minimum detection limits as well gamma spectrum obtained fast neutron analysis experiments. Simulations were performed geological biological reference materials irradiated with 14 MeV neutrons at 5.5 MV NCSRD tandem acce...
