Radioactivation analysis with heavy ion beams
Heavy ion activation analysis (HIAA) was evaluated for the determination of low Z elements Z less than or equal to 8. These target species were bombarded with ion beams of 3 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 8 and energies approx. 1 MeV/amu. The experimental effort focused on nuclear reactions yielding ..beta../sup +/ emitting isotopes with half-lives of greater than or equal to 10 seconds. With the beams and energies considered, only elements of Z less than or equal to 8 activate. The sample depth probed is shallow (a few mg/cm/sup 2/). Four heavy ion beams, /sup 6/Li, /sup 9/Be, /sup 12/C, and /sup 14/N, were found to induce reactions which could be employed for trace analysis. Percent interferences were calculated from experimental data.
