A field instrument for quantitative determination of beryllium by activation analysis
William W. Vaughn, E.E. Wilson, J.M. Ohm
1960, Circular 427
A low-cost instrument has been developed for quantitative determinations of beryllium in the field by activation analysis. The instrument makes use of the gamma-neutron reaction between gammas emitted by an artificially radioactive source (Sb124) and beryllium as it occurs in nature. The instrument and power source are mounted in a...
