Abstract

The use of prompt gamma-ray emitting resonant nuclear reactions for measuring the concentration profiles of light elements is discussed. One goal of this paper is to demonstrate profiling for several different light elements with the same experimental chamber. Experimental data, including both gamma-ray spectra and gamma-ray yield curves from known targets, are given for the profiling of hydrogen, lithium, fluorine and sodium.
