Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Nondestructive determination of hydrogen in organic solvents was possible by measurement of prompt gamma radiation (2.22 MeV) from the reaction 1H(n, γ)2H. For this reaction, the fast neutrons from an Am-Be neutron source were slowed down to thermal energies by the sample itself. The height of the photo-peak obtained by gamma-ray scintillation spectrometrywas found to be directly proportional to the hydrogen content. An Am-Be neutron source was suitable for this method because of its low gamma-ray background.
