Compilation of k0 and related data for NAA in
the form of electronic database (IUPAC Technical Report)**
V. P. Kolotov*
and F. De Corte
Abstract: This report describes the principles underlying a
comprehensive electronic database that contains data essential for calculation
of analytical results from neutron-activation analysis (NAA) and that
is available through IUPAC. The method used is a comparator method called
the k0 method, where k0 is a dimensionless
factor which is experimentally measured with high accuracy for more
than 130 isotopes and which makes use of the gamma spectroscopic line
for an analyte isotope relative to a gold comparator. The database contains
recommended values for k0 and other relevant nuclear
data.
