Abstract

A survey has been made on the application of charged particle activation analysis for the detection of traces of medium Z elements (40≤Z≤58, 72, 74) using protons and deuterons of 20 MeV,3He and4He ions of 40 MeV. The product nuclides considered were γ-ray emitting radioisotopes with half lives ranging from 10 min to 3 days. Based on the thick target yields obtained, proton activation was found to provide an optimum compromise between sensitivity and selectivity.
