Abstract

The capability of Charged Particle Activation Analysis (CPAA) of geological samples as a complement to Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) has been investigated. Different geological standard materials were activated at the Rossendorf cyclotron U-120 with 13.5 MeV deuterons. By means of γ-spectrometry the elements Mg, Ti, Co, Zn, Sr, and Y could be determined. The detection limits are in general favourable for the examination of geological samples.
