Chopped Cold Neutron Beam Activation Analysis

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
Danyal J. Turkoglu, Heather H. Chen-Mayer
A linear fast neutron beam chopper has been deployed at the prompt gamma activation analysis instrument, enabling in-beam activation analysis of short-lived (T1/2 > 10 ms) neutron capture products without needing sample transfer. This paper describes the

Spectroscopic Compton Imaging of Prompt Gamma Emission at the MeV Energy Range

October 1, 2018
Author(s)
Haijian Chen, Heather H. Chen-Mayer, Danyal J. Turkoglu, Benjamin Riley, Emily Draeger, jerimy Polf
Prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) is a bulk elemental analysis technique using gamma rays emitted immediately following neutron capture. Spatial information about the composition within the sample could be obtained with PGAA in a time-consuming

Natural Alteration of 6Li Neutron Shielding Glass

September 21, 2018
Author(s)
Jamie L. Weaver, Danyal J. Turkoglu
Li-6 alumino-silicate glass, a neutron shielding material, has been studied to determine if and to what extent it alters under natural conditions. Analyses included neutron depth profiling, prompt gamma activation analysis, x-ray diffraction, and scanning

Investigation of Alteration of Li-6 Enriched Neutron Shielding Glass

January 31, 2018
Author(s)
Jamie Weaver, Danyal J. Turkoglu
Silicate glass doped with 6Li is a common slow neutron shielding material, and has been utilized as such in several neutron research facilities. 6Li is a unique isotope for thermal neutron capture as it has a large thermal neutron capture cross section (≈

Assessment of PGAA capability for low-level measurements of H in Ti alloy

December 1, 2017
Author(s)
Danyal J. Turkoglu, Huaiyu H. Chen-Mayer, Rick L. Paul, Rolf L. Zeisler
The accuracy of low-level hydrogen measurements with prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (PGAA) depends on identifying and accounting for all background H signal, including interfering signals. At the cold-neutron (CN)PGAA facility at the NIST Center for

On Neutron Activation Analysis with Gamma,Gamma Coincidence Spectrometry

Rolf L. Zeisler, Hana Cho, Ibere Souza Ribeiro Junior, Martin G. Shetty, Danyal J. Turkoglu
A new  coincidence system has been set up at NIST. It is operated with a digital data finder supported by new software developed at NIST. The system is used to explore possible enhancements in instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and study
