Abstract

The possibility of the use of characteristic X-rays, emitted after IT of EC type of radioactive decay, for analytical purposes in 14 MeV neutron activation analysis was investigated. Elements from Cr to U were theoretically considered and 24 of them experimentally examined. The results showed usefulness of the technique for several elements in spite of the troublesome selfabsorption effect. It is expected that the 0.1% determination limit can be achieved for the most suitable elements.
