Abstract

Monte Carlo calculations were carried out for design of a set up for Prompt Gamma Ray Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) by 14 MeV neutrons to analyze cement raw material samples. The calculations were carried out using code the MCNP4B2. Various geometry parameters of the PGNAA experimental setup such as sample thickness, moderator geometry and detector shielding etc were optimized by maximizing the prompt gamma ray yield of different elements of sample material. Finally calibration curve of the PGNAA setup were generated for various concentrations of calcium in the material sample. Results of this simulation are presented.
