Abstract
The nuclear analytical technique is a modern analytical technique consisting of various methods based on particle-matter interaction, nuclear effects, and nuclear spectroscopy. The analytical technique is likened to the eye of substance composition characterization, and the nuclear analytical technique is the microscope added to this eye to understand the characteristics of atomic nuclei. Modern nuclear analytical technique is an advanced analytical technique that is developed based on nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, using various nuclear effects, nuclear spectroscopy, nuclear electronics, nuclear detection technology, etc. It has the advantages of high sensitivity, good accuracy, high resolution, low destructiveness, and multi-element analysis, with the ability of nuclide analysis and microstructure analysis, as well as the characteristics of implementing off-line and online measurements. Therefore, it can often be used in the analysis and identification work that is difficult or even impossible to be completed by general non-nuclear analytical techniques, such as cultural relics identification, dating, origin determination, technological level analysis, and online quality monitoring. At the same time, with the development of life science, especially with the research of life science reaching the molecular level, the modern nuclear analytical technique shows an irreplaceable role.
