摘要
The purpose of the work was to build a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) facility at the MEPhI reactor for analyzing the content of various elements for NCT. The facility was implemented on a monochromatic neutron beam. Methods of quantitative B-10 and Gd measurement have been developed for pharmacokinetic studies. The facility is capable of measuring 1 mu g of B-10 and 10 mu g of Gd in biological samples with an error less than 10%. The detection limit of the facility is 0.3 mu g of B-10 and 2 mu g of Gd. Neutron flux attenuation within biological tissue samples was estimated and a new system for determining the elemental concentration was suggested. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
