Abstract

15N induced radioactivation was used to study the possible trace determination of light elements with 1≤Z≤17. 55 nuclear reactions were investigated with ion beam energies ranging from E1ab=10 MeV to E1ab=30 MeV. Three elements were found to be determinable non-destructively, selectively and sensitively: Li, Be and Mg. Nuclear interferences have also been defined and quantified. The technique has been tested by analyzing NBS standards. Finally, Li and Be have been determined in glass samples and Mg in various types of alumina.
