Abstract

The possibility of using characteristic X-rays from radioactive elements activated with neutron generator has been investigated with particular emphasis on /n, n/, /n, 2n/, /n, p/ and /n, α/ reactions. X-rays have been emitted from nuclei by electron capture or internal transition processes. The products of six elements seem to be usable for analytical purposes.
