Abstract

The potentials of a split microtron with an electron beam energy of up to 70 MeV for the gamma activation analysis of some natural samples were studied. Certified reference materials of bottom sediments—terrigenous clay (SDO-1), volcanic-terrigenous mud (SDO-2), and lime mud (SDO-3)—were used as model samples. The samples were irradiated with photons generated upon the deceleration of an electronic beam with an energy of 20–50 MeV. The beam was controlled by placing a gold foil before the test sample. Activation products of C, Cl, Na, Mg, Ti, Fe, Ca, Zr, Mn, Rb, Sr, Ni, Co, Y, As, Ba, Zn, Cs, Sc, Cr, and Ce were identified by gamma lines using a high-purity germanium detector.
