Abstract
The development of suitable instrumentation and data acquisition systems for prompt nuclear microanalysis are presented. The reaction F19 (p,ay)016 has been used to determine the fluorine concentration in samples of microcracked chromium plate, using the charged particle beams of the 0.5 MV Aston Van de Graaff and the 3 MV Birmingham Radiation Centre Dynamitron. Disadvantages associated with the use of molecular hydrogen ion beams and the intrinsic variables of prompt nuclear analysis are considered in detail. The complementary techniques of convolution and deconvolution for the determination of concentration profiles from experimental data are compared and contrasted. The inherent difficulty of obtaining precise analytical information from charged particle induced resonance reaction data is established.
