摘要：

An analytical description of improvements in the counting statistics and in the limit of detection obtained with Compton suppression methods in instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) is described. The experimental data, deduced from the INAA of air filters, show the advantage of counting systems where the samples are placed outside the Compton shields. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
