Abstract

The 14 MeV neutron activation facility of the Hohenheim University is described and the calculated determination limits for 20 elements are presented. The determination of aluminium via the27Al(n, p)27Mg reaction and of silicon by the28Si(n, p)28Al reaction is applied to the analysis of atmospheric aerosols. A running program for routine analyses was elaborated. The method was checked with the aid of an intercomparison sample.
