Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA) is a non-destructive bulk analytical tool for determination of elemental composition, based on the detection of prompt-gamma radiation induced by neutron capture into the atomic nucleus. The method is considered non-destructive. In principle, every chemical elements can be measured quantitatively, but with very different sensitivities. […]

When the neutron beam passes through the material, its intensity decreases, and the attenuated beam creates a contrast pattern, i.e., a projected image on a sensitive screen. The NORMA station is one of the complementary parts of the NIPS-NORMA facility (Fig. 1). It has been designed for neutron radiography (NR) and […]
When a nucleus captures a neutron, the binding energy of the neutron is promptly emitted in the form of gamma radiation. The energies of the gamma photons are specific to the nucleus, while their numbers are proportional to the quantity of that nuclide. The NIPS station is one of the […]
DÖME instrument is a facility suitable for measuring decay gamma spectra. Its main part is a low-background counting chamber made of pre-World War II iron, thus free of radioactivity from human activities. A liquid nitrogen cooled HPGe detector placed inside the chamber acquires the gamma spectra. Having adjusted the sample-detector […]
