Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A method for measuring the induced activity in neutron activation detectors using gamma spectrometers with scintillator and semiconductor detectors is introduced. The sensitivity of the gamma spectrometers is measured as a function of γ-ray energy over a range of 0.06-3 MeV.
