Abstract

Interferences of different types (competing reactions, overlapping photons emission energies etc.) occur more frequently during activation analysis with high energy exciting radiation that in conventional thermal neutron activation. Three main types of interference in high energy photon activation analysis (PAA) have been determined quantitatively, using experimentally obtained data exclusively. Based on the results presented, it is possible in many critical cases to improve significantly the accuracy of analysis results obtained by PAA.
