Abstract

9Be induced radioactivation was used to study the trace determination of 19 elements at 3 different ion beam energies (Elab=14, 32 and 63 MeV9Be2+). Nine nuclear reactions, yielding radionuclides with half-lives longer than 2.5 m, present potential analytical features. Beside the very sensitive detection of B and N, the multielemental determination of Na, Si, Ca, Sc, and Zn is possible with a9Be ion beam of appropriate incident energy. Nuclear interferences have also been investigated and quantified.
