Neutron activation
Neutron activation is the process in which thermal neutrons induce radioactivity in matter. The activity (A) follows from the formula:
A = σ n φ (1 - e-λt)
| A = activity (in Bq) σ = cross section (in m2) n = number of irradiated atoms φ = neutron fluence rate (in m-2·s-1) λ = decay constant (in s-1) t = irradiation time (in s) |
