title: Development of k0-INAA standardization method by neutron activation with Am-Be source.
abstract: The k(0)-standardization method on the (241)Am-Be isotopic neutron source has been studied and developed. In this paper, the characteristics of the neutron spectrum in an isotropic neutron field of (241)Am-Be isotopic neutron sources was experimentally determined by dual monitor method using measured cadmium ratios of (197)Au(n, γ)(198)Au and (98)Mo(n, γ)(99)Mo(β(-))(99m)Tc reactions. Application of the k(0)-standardization method for the determination of elemental concentrations such as Al, Mn and Na in cement is carried out as well. The obtained results are in agreement with other analyses.
