Abstract
Non-destructive methodology for determining carbon content in large or semi-infinite (soil) samples is discussed. This methodology is based on deconvoluting the sample's gamma spectra (received by tagged neutron method) on the sample component's spectra by accounting for neutron and gamma radiation attenuations. This algorithm was tested with both Monte-Carlo simulations and experimental gamma spectra. Good agreement was found between defined and actual sample component content. Application of this method for soil carbon determinations in agricultural fields is discussed.
