Abstract

This paper describes an experimental set up using an isotopic neutron source with graphite, preferably to a hydrogen-rich compound, as moderator. This low thermal flux source has been employed in PGNAA experiments. Only those elements having a high cross section can be quantitatively analyzed at low concentration levels, mainly, Gd, Cd, Sm, B and Hg; the other elements can only be probed at macroscopic levels. An application to the determination of boron content in collyria examplifies the possibilities of the technique.
