Abstract

Charged-particle activation analysis has been used for many years for the determination of light elements by measuring the induced radioactivity produced by charged-particle bombardment. Recently, a variety of techniques have been produced, based upon the measurement of prompt radiation which have enabled structural information, depth distributions and small-volume analyses to be obtained in addition to gross-element analysis. These methods have greatly extended both the scope of charged-particle techniques and the range of problems to which they can be applied.
