✦ Synopsis

k 0 factors (composite nuclear constants) for use in the k 0 standardization of reactor neutron activation analysis were experimentally measured with great care in several laboratories. The recommended values thus obtained for the relevant gamma rays of 144 analytically interesting radionuclides are tabulated, together with evaluated values for their associated parameters such as resonance integral to thermal cross-section ratios and effective resonance energies. A classification is also given of the various activation-decay types, to which the data are strictly correlated.

2200 m/s cross-section (a0) values for the t74yb(n,7)~7syb reaction show an astonishingly large scatter (60-141 barn) in the literature. A recent measurement for absolute y-ray emission probabilities of 175yb seems-to explain this anomaly by revealing uncertainties of the same magnitude in earlier d

Based on the k, standardization method, a panoramic instrumental neutron activation analysis was applied to synthetic and natural silica samples and concentrations and/or detection knits were obtained for 58 elements. The Si content, expected to be ca. 46.7% by weight, was also determined as a crite
