Abstract:
Prompt gamma-ray neutron activation analysis of 10B concentrations in biological samples was carried out using a germanium detector and single crystal silicon filtered neutron beams from the TRIGA-II reactor. The 10B concentrations of biological samples such as tumors, tissues, blood and cultured cells were estimated from calibration curves obtained by using standard samples containing various 10B concentrations. A method of measuring absolute 10B concentrations was also presented.
