Abstract

A physical approach is described for instrumental multielement activation analysis with whole neutron spectrum (without Cd-cover) using the monostandard (single comparator) method. To test the capabiliteries of this method, 15 samples representing different Egyptian granite rocks were analyzed. As many as 21 trace elements beside Fe, K and Na were determined. Calculation of the experimental data has been done using the “Gamma-Monostandard Analysis” program with the Commodore Computer available at the Institute of Radiochemistry at Garching near München. The accuracy of the method for nondestructive multielement analysis agrees within 3% with the relative method using multielement standards.
