Abstract
A neutron-induced prompt gamma-ray analysis (PGA) has become widely utilize d due to the improved analytical sensitivities and detection limits especia lly by using low energy guided neutron beams. Current studies on the low en ergy neutron guided beam PGA are reviewed. Historical backgrounds, current analysis systems, advantages when compared with conventional NAA, standardi zation for elemental determination and analytical applications in JAERI of the guided beam PGA are described.
