Abstract
Alpha-induced prompt gamma-rays generated by excitation, or in nuclear reactions, were studied for 57 elements, to select those elements having gamma-rays of sufficient intensity for analytical application. Several light, medium and heavy elements show promise. Of these nitrogen, fluorine, manganese and vanadium were selected for more detailed study. The applicability of this technique was tested by studying the determination of fluorine in cements and of nitrogen, vanadium and manganese in steels.
