Prompt-gamma activation analysis(PGAA or PGNAA) is a nuclear analytical technique for non-destructive determination of elemental and isotopic compositions. The sample is irradiated in a neutron beam and the gamma-rays from the radiative capture are detected. All elements can be analyzed(except helium), without any prior information on the analyte. 1, record 2, English, - prompt%2Dgamma%20activation%20analysis

Il existe deux types d'installations suivant que l'irradiation et la mesure sont simultanées ou non : - dans le premier cas, l'échantillon est placé à l'extérieur du réacteur, par exemple sur le trajet d'un guide à neutrons; le détecteur est placé à proximité et enregistre la radioémission des isotopes formés en continu. Il s'agit alors d'analyse par activation de gamma prompts (AAGP) [...] 1, record 2, French, - analyse%20par%20activation%20de%20gamma%20prompts
