Abstract

Neutron capture reactions are in use for chemical analysis at nearly every research reactor. The (n, γ) reaction involves simple physics and penetrating radiations, and for that reason is free of systematic errors common to analytical methods which rely on dissolving the sample. A number of elements not easily determined by conventional neutron activation analysis can be measured through the gamma rays emitted promptly on neutron capture. New applications are being found, especially with recent advances in instrumentation and neutron beam shaping.
