The resonance at E (/sup 19/F) =6.42 MeV in the reaction /sup 1/H(/sup 19/F,..cap alpha gamma..)/sup 16/O has been explored as a potentially useful method for the quantitative determination of hydrogen concentration as a function of depth in a solid substrate. The relative merits of this resonance, the 16.44-MeV resonance in the same reaction, and the 6.39-MeV resonance in the reaction /sup 1/H(/sup 15/N,..cap alpha gamma..)/sup 12/C are discussed.
