La mesure du rayonnement gamma émis est [...] possible durant l'irradiation aux neutrons. Cette méthode [...] connue sous le nom de PGNAA (prompt gamma neutron activation analysis) [...] nécessite l'accès à un faisceau de neutrons extraits. Ces flux sont de plusieurs ordres de grandeur plus faibles que ceux utilisés en analyse par activation neutronique (facteur 10-5 à 10-6), aussi les dommages dus à l'irradiation sont réduits. La méthode permet de doser rapidement les composants majeurs (H, B, Si, S, C, N, P, etc.) de certains échantillons. 2, record 1, French, - analyse%20par%20activation%20neutronique%20aux%20gamma%20prompts

Entre las diferentes técnicas para analizar las perforaciones se tiene que el análisis por activación neutrónica de gammas inmediatos [...] tiene la capacidad de proporcionar una información cuantitativa "in-situ" de la ley de mineral de interés (cobre, carbón, hierro, silicio, etc.) en tiempo real y en función de la profundidad de la perforación. [...] Esta técnica nuclear de análisis elemental es no destructiva. Para este análisis el material se expone a un flujo de neutrones y como los neutrones carecen de carga eléctrica no sufren la acción de campos eléctricos ni magnéticos; por eso son capaces de atravesar grandes espesores del material. 1, record 1, Spanish, - an%C3%A1lisis%20por%20activaci%C3%B3n%20neutr%C3%B3nica%20de%20gammas%20inmediatos
