Activation Analysis

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Nuclear Chemistry

Abstract

This chapter presents the basic principles of activation analysis and details its different types. Emphasis is given to instrumental neutron activation analysis and radiochemical separations for the determination of trace and ultra-trace elements. Location sensitive analysis is also included.
