Description
Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) of samples is routinely used at our guided cold neutron beam facilities. Adaptation of this method for analyzing enriched samples required some modification of the data analyzing program as well as changing the prompt gamma ray library for each different sample. The advantage of the method is that it is completely nondestructive and it can be applied for encapsulated samples as well. Furthermore it provides bulk composition for almost the same conditions as it will be used in nuclear data experiments and it is sensitive for the same components that will give the biggest signals in measurements at other beams. This new method has been applied for enriched Ni, Fe, Zr and Hf samples.
