Title:  Research progress of PGNAA technique: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract:

As one of the most important research interests in the field of nuclear science and technology, Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) technique is an effective nuclear analysis technology, playing an important role in the nuclide identification. Compared with the other elemental analysis techniques, NAA technique has the characteristics of high analytical accuracy and strong capacity of anti-interference, and has been widely used in geochemistry, cosmic science, environmental science and many other fields. Moreover, as one of the important branches in NAA, Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) technique also has the advantages of high sensitivity, non-destructive inspection and non-essential sample pretreatment, and it can meet the needs of online, in-situ and bulk sample analysis, etc. Because of its different nuclide sensitivity with that of NAA technique, PGNAA can be the complementary to NAA in nuclide analysis and practical application.
In recent years, with the development of other analytical methods and instruments, NAA technique was greatly challenged. However, it still plays an irreplaceable role in detecting the internal components of bulk sample. Relying on the large scientific facilities such as reactors and spallation neutron sources, many researches have been carried out by worldwide institutes (UK, Germany, Hungary, etc.), including the detection of trace elements in alloy and the internal elements distribution in cultural relics, etc. In order to take full advantage of PGNAA technique and expand its application fields, the in-situ online detection based on low-yield neutron sources becomes highly valued, and many researches have been carried out in traditional fields such as all-element logging and industrial material composition analysis, etc., as well as the emerging fields such as nuclear waste barrel testing and heavy metal analysis in environment. Face to the new requirements, some new scientific problems also need to be solved, for example, the nonlinear response of analytical information, design criteria for PGNAA device, extended application, etc., which provide the new challenges and opportunities for the development of PGNAA technique.
