Abstract

A program of theoretical and experimental work was performed to develop a mathematical model which can represent all the parameters of the neutron activation analysis operation. However, we avoid absolute technique by using a sample containing the same element as the reference but having a different geometry and weight. In the present work we apply this model to determine the neutron, gamma-ray and neutron-and-gamma-ray self-shielding of the sample in relation with the number of counts in the total absorption peak. However the results obtained should be applied within the limitations of the method.
