Abstract
The use of INAA and IPAA is illustrated by several applications (Zn-traces in Cu, neutron doping of Zn in copper, implanted Sb in silicon, trace eleme nts in sediment material and polyethylene). The two methods are used to com plement or to cross-check each other. Validation by IDA-TIMS was performed in the case of neutron doping and turned out to be a valuable support. Even developed routines of activation analysis need improvement. Two technical solutions, the high energy photon screen (HEPS) and a twin detector assembl y, are dealt with in detail.
